A New Dawn for Aishwarya

Once upon a time, in a small village, lived a young girl named Aishwarya. Her heart was as golden as the rising sun, but her life had seen days as dark as the night. Aishwarya's world turned upside down when her mother left due to disagreements over property. The little house where laughter once lived was no more. Aishwarya found herself alone, with no roof over her head.
