He had to pay five thousand rupees for such a small room and along with that share it with a boy named Himanshu.

Sumit fell ill several times due to the consumption of outside food. Despite facing so many problems, Sumit didn’t lose his focus on the aim and didn’t leave any stone unturned in his studies. Himanshu was also a sincere boy and he and Sumit used to study together. Everyday, Sumit’s father used to call him and Sumit would give him hope that he would surely fulfil his and their dreams.
