So, it had been a difficult journey foe me to reach to where I am now today. I just happened to scroll my FB newsfeed, it was in the beginning of my postgraduation course in 2015. This story really fascinated me and compelled me to visit the person's FB account. I sent friend's request with a long message introducing myself. Yes, the woman was none other than sister (Eche) Urmila Chanam. Cutting it short, I would like to extend my gratitude towards her by nominating her name for the award!!! She has been my role model, somehow, indirectly. Through her dedicated performances I have learnt to believe in myself once again!!! My whole perspectives of life changed henceforth. I really am very thankful to her.
