Kavitha Sastry Tumuluri

Sita is a very common household name in India. But for me and my family it was a special name and a special person. When she walked into our lives she was a naive, confused 15 year old and continued to be part and parcel of our life for 8years, then she got married and flew away to Kuala Lumpur. That was the special day. April 26th is an unforgettable day. For me it’s a very normal ordinary day, but in Sita’s life it is a very special day. She is finally meeting her husband in Kuala Lumpur. Lot of women get married and travel short and long distances to unite with their husband, but Sita’s story is not an ordinary one. It’s a story of - I want to be somewhere and do something kind. For a young girl from a village in Nepal having moved to Gandipet while she was a months baby and losing her father at a young age of 15 and is suddenly thrown to the realities of the world – being the eldest with no education, no food or money at home, it is an amazing feat of determination and grit.
