About Me — Radha jha
I truly hope my words resonate with you, just as deeply as they come from me
I am Radha Jha — A girl belonging to Mithilanchal(Darbhanga)in Bihar Where, I was born and brought up. This has given me a deep understanding of my Maithil Culture. I consider myself both modern and deeply rooted in tradition, as I hold a strong connection to my cultural roots.
The Unseen Strength Behind My Journey — My Parents
I come from a middle-class family, And all my education has been done in a village. Yet, my parents provided me with everything that perhaps only a child from the city typically receives. I have a younger sister and a younger brother and all three of us studied under the CBSE board.
I am sharing this because When I was a child, most people believed only sons deserve a good education. Their mindset was that daughters were meant to get married and take care of the household. But my parents never discriminated between us. In fact, They gave me and my sister more opportunities and support than my brother. And that’s something I’m truly proud of, my parents never thought selfishly and raised us with complete equality.
At that time my father didn’t have a job. He was a farmer and he worked incredibly hard to pay our school and tuition fees. His determination was our biggest inspiration, He sacrificed all his personal desires for our better future.
Even though today my father is earning well through his hardware business — something he has built entirely on his own. I feel extremely proud of him. Yet, despite that, both he and my mother still don’t consider fulfilling their own wishes a priority. Their only focus of every single day is to give us a better life. And I truly manifest that one day, I will give them all the happiness they deserve.
What Do I Truly Want From My Life
I believe that in life, money is important to live peacefully.
Because there are many things we want to do for ourselves and for the happiness of others, but we often can’t simply due to financial limitations. And maybe, if money was not a constraint, We wouldn’t have to face such helplessness. That’s one of the reasons-Why do I want to achieve something meaningful in life.
I am a medical aspirant. I have completed my 12th in science with Biology and Mathematics and did my graduation(B.sc)from anthropology. I’ve attempted Neet three times and haven’t gotten a college seat yet. But I know, I can do it and I will. Because my parents believe in me and they are proud that I want to move ahead in life at my own strength.
I want to achieve everything that brings joy to them and to the loved ones, who are connected to me. Maybe this is the silent dream of every student, Who has seen their parents struggle up close.
But honestly, I want more than just a successful life. I want a heart so pure that seeing others happy makes me happy too.
I want to feel no jealousy when someone else achieves something great. I want to have genuine love for God, not just for show.
I never want anyone to feel small around me. I want to sit in silence and still feel peace within myself — I want the kind of soul that never rejoices in someone’s downfall.
A life where success feels lighter because my heart is heavy with gratitude and love.
In Their Eyes, I May Still Be Failing — But In Mine, I Am Growing
I moved just a little away from home to darbhanga and stayed in a PG, and started preparing for the medical entrance exam. I’ve never made fun of anyone’s failure or career choices and I always wished that people would think the same way.
But the truth is — the fear of people’s taunts plays a much bigger role in our journey than we admit.
While studying, I also chose to live my life — because we can’t keep postponing life for tomorrow, And Who has ever seen tomorrow?
During that time, I took my first solo trip, explored new places and learned so much- not just about the world, but about myself.
I tried many jobs — content writing, teaching, account management and many more. With every experience, I felt a little more confident in myself.
I began to feel like, If I keep working hard, maybe I can take responsibility for my own life.
But to many people, Success only means having your name in the newspaper.
I never saw myself as a failure, even when I couldn’t clear the exam.
Eventually, It became known that I was preparing for Neet. And suddenly the same people who once assumed I was just wandering around and lying to my parents — became quiet, even disappointed. They started criticizing me just because I chose this field for myself...
There’s always a question in my mind:
Can’t we even choose our own career?
Do others really have the right to decide what’s possible for us and what’s not?
My own people used to say things like “this isn’t something just anyone can do, She is wasting her time.” They did everything to break my confidence.
Those words may seem small to others — but they cut deep, especially when you are working to end the struggle of your family.
Even when I couldn’t clear my exam, my parents never made me feel like a failure. They always stood beside me, with an unwavering belief that I would do something great in life. And that faith has become my strength.
In the eyes of society, I may still be a failure — because I haven’t yet gotten into a govt. MBBS college.
But in my own eyes, I’m moving forward, I’m learning every single day.
And most importantly, I don’t carry guilt. Because I know I’m giving my best, I have nothing to prove to anyone.
One day everything I’ve dreamt of will become real.
My story isn’t very interesting yet..Because the truth is, “Kahani to abhi banki hai mere dost”.
It’s up to me to make it meaningful, to make it worth remembering.
And You know what I’ve noticed?
In everything I say, My parents are always present. That’s because they are the pillars of my strength.
Life has just begun, and there is still so much left to experience — So many stories to live and even more to share with you.
So stay with me on this journey.
