Conclusion-
After I spoke to Kiran for all that she seems to have learnt out of her life, I realize that she is dyslexic. She couldn't study because she is dyslexic ( as she proves to me on sheets of paper). For her, education was about being 'intelligent' which she thought she wasn't. The people back in her village are very caring and intelligent. Most of them study till class 10. What I feel out of the entire exercise is that - diseases, habits and natural cycles are the only commonalities between the rich and the poor. However, the dis-similarity is in the service sector, be it education, health or luxury.
