 On the second day of complain, police came in society with intention of compromise and my parents were called again for meeting but this time I decided to attend meeting.
 That meeting brought drastic change in my personality, I was arguing with more than 72 people.I still remember somebody asked my father to talk instead of me as I was not allowing anybody to speak.My father replied “she is mature 18+ & educated, she can take her own decision".
-At last they had to surrender but they wanted me to bare cost of carpet for sake of beautification of ramp. I agreed as the exam was near and I had no time left with me. After all it was the exam of life.

 The very next day staircase was demolished and a ramp was built again but it was a ramp for name sake.It was so steep that two people were needed to help me get down from it. I decided to keep quite till my exams were over.

 Exactly before 20 days of exam some renovation work held in society and suddenly society members started feeling problem from ramp that I made for my wheelchair to move in/out of society.
-Meeting was held by society and my parents were called as culprit of making ramp that gave facility to their daughter. Many options were given to alter ramp which were completely inaccessible for wheelchair.(they might not knowing how wheelchair can be drive or may be don’t understand what ramp is actually meant for ;) ) A meeting turns in to dispute and my parents were alone fighting for my rights with 72 houses of society members. ( I remember well that day we had no dinner as mother was too busy to save my rights) I was worried if ramp would be demolished how would I go for exam what about my job?

-The sun rises and I woke with great strength I don’t know where it comes from but I was never as powerful as I was that day. I approached TV channel they came with great response and interview aired on same night. I wasn’t very much aware of rights about disables so approached lawyer and got to know about disabled act 1995.

 Than I realized I don’t need to ask anybody to show humanity and let me build my ramp. Its my right and I should get it. Finally I decided to go to police station and I went.
-With help of social activist I met senior officer Mr.Mahabadi, He was wonderful and he assured me within couple of days my wheelchair will ply on ramp again. My case was handed over to police inspector Sunita Kulkarni.(I must say, I salute Mumbai Police)
