Arjun was 10, but he had never been to school. His days were spent helping his father sell tea at the station. One afternoon, a group of children were flying kites nearby. Arjun watched as a red kite danced higher and higher.
A volunteer from a nearby school noticed him staring. “Do you want to fly one?” she asked.
That day, Arjun held the string in his small hands, eyes fixed on the sky. For the first time, he felt his dreams could go higher than the clouds.
Weeks later, he started attending evening classes. The kite was gone, but his dreams had just begun to soar.
