FF: The Stuff of Dreams
Words 100
A cheer broke out from the crowd as Parul arrived. She had just won the gold in the 5000m after yesterday’s silver in steeplechase.
“Quite a journey from running in sugarcane fields, training with boys, overcoming societal pressures to the top of the victory stand. Congratulations!”
Still out of breath, Parul smiled. “Thank you.”
“What a thrilling finish! Throughout you were trailing and whoosh – in the last 20 m you overtook the lead. How did that happen?”
“It’s been my dream to join the police. It popped into my head that a DSP post is guaranteed for gold medallists.”
