She wants to pursue MBBS which she had decided upon even while she was in her seventh standard.’ Asked about how she felt after the success story, Anu said, ‘The credit goes to my teachers who encouraged and motivated me, right from my days in LKG.’ ‘I did well, but I did not expect this result, my family and I are in cloud nine,’ this girl who wants to be a cardiologist and serve society says.  ‘I wish to thank all my relatives and well-wishers,’ she adds. Anu’s mother Vimala said, ‘We did not pressure our daughter. She herself shunned entertainment, for the past one year.’ Vimala works as a professor in RMK Engineering College and can there be prouder parents that Anu’s?
