In a quaint village of Andhra Pradesh nestled amidst lush green fields, lived Dr Raghava, a compassionate young doctor with a heart of gold. From a young age, he harboured a deep desire to serve the impoverished villagers who lacked access to proper healthcare.


Despite his father's persistent urging to establish a lucrative practice in the bustling city and set up a super-speciality hospital, Raghava remained steadfast in his resolve to serve the rural community. He believed that true fulfillment lay in alleviating the suffering of those in need, rather than pursuing wealth and prestige.


As years went by, Raghava's dedication to his cause grew stronger. He spent countless hours traveling to remote villages, providing medical care to the sick and needy. His selfless efforts earned him the respect and admiration of the villagers, who saw him as their saviour.


However, Raghava's unwavering commitment to his mission came at a personal cost. He turned down numerous marriage proposals from wealthy families, as he couldn't envision a life where his duty to the villagers would take a backseat.


Despite facing financial struggles and societal pressure, Raghava remained resolute in his pursuit of serving the poor. He worked tirelessly, rallying support from like-minded individuals and organizations to establish clinics and mobile medical units in underserved areas.


Eventually, Raghava's perseverance paid off. His dedication and altruism captured the attention of philanthropists and government officials, who were moved by his noble cause. 


With their support, Raghava was able to realize his dream of building a fully equipped hospital in the village, offering comprehensive healthcare services to all.


As the hospital inauguration ceremony approached, Raghava stood proudly, surrounded by grateful villagers whose lives he had touched. 


Despite the challenges and sacrifices he had endured along the way, Raghava knew that his journey was just beginning. 


With the hospital now serving as a beacon of hope for the community, he vowed to continue his mission of healing and compassion, ensuring that no one in the village would ever be denied medical care again.


One day one girl visited Raghava's hospital. 

"You have taken so much pain to visit this hospital" 

"Yes, I am a journalist. I need your interview" 

" I am not a political leader. Ordinary doctor. Why do you need my interview?" 

" There lies your extraordinary" 

"I will be available to you only after night 10 pm" 

"No problem, I will wait" 


The interview began at 10 pm. Raghava narrated his childhood incident to Samhita, the journalist. 

When Raghava was 10 years old, that incident happened, neighbourhood lady was pregnant and completed nine months and ready to deliver. Labour pains started. Villagers took the lady to the city hospital which was 10 km away from the village through a bullock cart. Unfortunately, suddenly black clouds gathered and rain started. Bullock cart had not reached the hospital in time due to heavy rain and the pregnant lady developed complications and finally delivered the dead baby and lost her breath. 


Raghava's eyes filled with tears. 


Samhita moved with this heart-touching incident. Later her interview with Raghava was published in the prestigious TIME magazine. 

Samhita came with a magazine and showed the published interview to Raghava. 

Raghava thanked Samhita. 

Samhita said that she is not interested in journalism. 

"Why?" asked Raghava

"To become part of Raghava s mission" 

Raghava surprised. 

"My path is not easy" 

" It will become easy when you are with me." Samhita touched his hand. 

" Thank you". 

Raghava hugged her. New dawn began.
