Meri Durga

The story traces the journey of a girl, Durga, who aspires to become a runner. It revolves around the beautiful and sensitive relationship of a father and his daughter. Highlighting the realities of life, Yashpal Choudhary works as a peon in one of the schools in Haryana. He has a very progressive viewpoint when it comes to educating a girl or a boy– unlike his other relatives. His only dream is to fight against all the odds and educate his daughter, Durga, for a better future. Durga, on the other hand, is a very lively and a positive 12-year-old who enjoys her childhood in and around the corners of Haryana. She loves running behind kites, climbing on the mango tree, swimming in the rivers. Besides enjoying her childhood, Durga trieds very hard to fulfil his father's dream. But somehow she just can't understand the calculations and hence always finds herself confused between alphabets and numbers.
