Bihar ke ek chhote se gaon Mithapur mein ek ladki rehti thi — uska naam Amina tha. Amina ka ghar bahut gareeb tha. Mitti ki deewarein, tin ka chhat, aur ek chhota sa aangan hi unka poora sansar tha. Amina ki maa ek housewife thi, jo din bhar ghar ke kaam karti aur bachchon ka khayal rakhti. Uske pita, Rahman ji, din-raat ek karke zari ka kaam karte the. Unki aankhon mein thakan rehti thi, lekin dil mein ek hi sapna tha — apne sabhi bachchon ko padhana aur unhe ek achhi zindagi dena.
Amina ke ghar mein 4 behne aur 2 bhai the. Ghar mein kul milaakar 7 bachche the, aur sabse badi Amina hi thi. Gareebi ke bawajood, Rahman ji ne kabhi apne bachchon ki padhai nahi chhudwayi. Woh aksar kehte the,
"Padhai hi ek aisi daulat hai jo koi chheen nahi sakta."
Bachpan ki zimmedari
Amina ka bachpan dusre bachchon jaisa aasan nahi tha. Subah jaldi uthkar woh maa ki madad karti — paani bharna, chulha jalana, aur chhote bhai-behen ko school ke liye taiyaar karna. Uske baad woh khud sarkari school jaati thi.
School tak ka raasta 3 kilometer lamba tha. Kabhi dhoop, kabhi baarish, kabhi thandi hawa — Amina har mausam mein chal kar school jaati. Uske paas zyada kitab-kapi nahi thi, par jo bhi tha, woh sambhal kar rakhti.
Amina ko padhai bahut pasand thi, khaaskar Hindi aur Science. Uski teacher, Shalini madam, aksar uski tareef karti thi. Ek din madam ne usse kaha: "Amina, tum agar mehnat karti rahi to ek din bahut badi banogi."
Ye shabd Amina ke dil mein bas gaye.
Mushkilein badhti gayin
Samay ke saath ghar ki zimmedariyan badhti gayin. Zari ka kaam karte-karte Rahman ji ki tabiyat kharab rehne lagi. Unki kamai kam ho gayi. Kai baar ghar mein khane ke liye sirf daal-roti hi hoti thi, aur kabhi-kabhi woh bhi mushkil se milti.
Ek din Rahman ji ne thodi udaasi se kaha: "Beta Amina, agar tum padhai chhod kar maa ki madad karo to ghar sambhal jayega."
Amina ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye, lekin usne himmat karke kaha: "Abba, main padhai bhi karungi aur ghar bhi sambhalungi. Aap bas mujhe dua dijiye."
Us din se Amina ne aur zyada mehnat karna shuru kar diya.
Raat ki padhai
Bijli aksar chali jaati thi. Amina diya ki roshni mein padhai karti. Kabhi-kabhi thakan se uski aankhen band ho jaati, par woh apne pita ki mehnat yaad karke phir kitab khol leti.
Uski chhoti behen ek din boli: "Didi, aap itni mehnat kyun karti ho?"
Amina muskura kar boli: "Taaki tum sabko itni mehnat na karni pade."
Pehli safalta
10th board exam ka samay aaya. Amina ne din-raat mehnat ki. Jab result aaya, to poore gaon mein khushi ki lehar daud gayi —
Amina ne district mein top kiya tha.
School ke principal ne Rahman ji se kaha: "Aapki beti gaon ka naam roshan karegi."
Rahman ji ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Woh pehli baar khushi ke aansu the.
Nayi chunauti
Ab problem thi aage ki padhai ke paise. College gaon se door shehar mein tha. Fees, books, aur travel ka kharcha bahut zyada tha.
Tabhi Amina ko scholarship mil gayi. Usne shehar ke college mein Science stream le li.
Shehar ki zindagi Amina ke liye bilkul alag thi. English bolne wale students, bade-bade classrooms, aur nayi technology — sab kuch naya tha. Shuru-shuru mein Amina ko darr lagta tha, par usne haar nahi maani.
Woh library mein ghanton baithkar padhai karti. Dheere-dheere uska confidence badhne laga.
Parivaar ka sahara
Ghar par uski maa aur behne silai-kadhai karke thodi kamai karne lagi. Dono bhai school ke baad chhote-mote kaam karte.
Poora parivaar ek hi sapne ke liye mehnat kar raha tha — Amina ki padhai.
Rahman ji aksar phone par kehte: "Beta, bas apne sapne par dhyaan do."
Sabse bada mod
12th ke baad Amina ne engineering entrance exam diya. Exam mushkil tha, lekin Amina ne poori mehnat ki thi.
Jab result aaya, to Amina ka government engineering college mein selection ho gaya.
Us din gaon mein mithai baanti gayi. Log kehte the: "Rahman ji ki beti engineer banegi!"
Rahman ji ne aasman ki taraf dekhkar shukriya ada kiya.
College ki zindagi
Engineering college mein Amina ne Computer Science choose kiya. Pehle saal bahut mushkil laga, par usne kabhi give up nahi kiya.
Woh part-time tuition padhane lagi, taaki apne kharche khud utha sake. Isse uska confidence aur badh gaya.
Final year mein Amina ne ek software project banaya jo gaon ke bachchon ko online padhai mein madad karta tha. Us project ko state-level award mila.
Sapna poora hua
College ke placement drive mein Amina ko ek badi IT company mein job mil gayi. Salary sun kar Rahman ji ko yakeen hi nahi hua.
Amina ne pehli salary se:
ghar ki chhat pakki banwayi
maa ke liye silai machine kharidi
pita ke liye aaraam ki kursi
bhai-behen ke liye nayi books aur uniforms
Rahman ji ne kaha: "Aaj meri saari mehnat safal ho gayi."
Nayi shuruat
Amina ne sirf apne parivaar hi nahi, balki gaon ke bachchon ke liye bhi kuch karne ka faisla kiya. Usne gaon mein ek free coaching center shuru kiya.
Woh bachchon se kehti: "Gareebi sapno ko nahi rok sakti, bas himmat aur mehnat chahiye."
Dheere-dheere uska gaon padhai ke liye mashhoor hone laga.
Kahani ka sandesh
Amina ki kahani yeh batati hai ki:
Mushkilein chahe kitni bhi ho, mehnat kabhi bekaar nahi jaati
Parivaar ka support sabse badi taakat hoti hai
Education zindagi badal sakti hai
Amina ab ek successful software engineer thi, lekin usne kabhi apne gaon aur apne pita ki mehnat ko nahi bhoola.
Ek shaam woh apne aangan mein baithi thi. Rahman ji ne poocha: "Beta, ab tumhara agla sapna kya hai?"
Amina ne muskura kar jawab diya: "Abba, ab mera sapna hai ki is gaon ka har bachcha padhe aur apne sapne poore kare."
Rahman ji ne dua ke liye haath utha diye.
Aur us chhote se gaon mein, ek diya jo kabhi Amina ki padhai ke liye jalta tha, ab poori peedhi ke sapno ki roshni ban chuka tha.
