Dream of village girl
Have you encountered a life-changing event? There may have been a few who did it, but not many. Nobody can predict how it will pan out. One day a beggar became wealthy. One who had no prior knowledge become an authority in the same field. It is possible for someone who doesn't speak English to get by abroad. Even someone with extensive knowledge may struggle to find employment. Since the entire city is aware, one who owns a tea shop may be a big person. The auto driver might be struck by a 20-crore lottery ticket. At some time, everyone and everything changed. Yet, the issue here is whether we are growing or shrinking.
