A Bengaluru woman named Anusmita shared a viral Instagram post revealing her mother had pawned her gold bangles to pay for her college admission fee. Now working at Flipkart, Anusmita considers her job proof that her mother's sacrifice was worthwhile and dedicates her success to her.
A woman from Bengaluru claimed that her achievement is still dependent on the sacrifice her mother made years ago when she pawned her gold bangles to keep her education going. Anusmita said that her mother did not hesitate to mortgage her jewels in order to pay her admission fee and keep her daughter's education going.
“My mother put her gold bangles in finance to pay my college admission fee. She didn't think twice. She just did it. Because that's what she does,” she said in an Instagram post. Getting a job at Flipkart meant much more to Anusmita than just achieving success in her career. It became evidence, in her view, that her mother's sacrifice had produced something worthwhile.
“Every single day I show up at Flipkart - I show up for her. This job isn't just a job. It's proof that her sacrifice meant something. That the girl whose mother pawned her gold to send her to college made it somewhere worth going,” she said.
