When I was in school, I saw a girl, wearing uniform with two neatly plated braids. she used to come to school by Auto from a village called Chandoor. She was one of the most disciplined and humble one in her class. Always at the top in her studies, she stood out not just for intelligence but also for her discipline, her speeches and reverence towards Teachers. In fact among all the teachers, Bhavana Rajpet was well-known and remembered with Respect.
As the years passed, I came to know her not only as a brilliant student but also as someone who carried herself with dignity and simplicity. She was active in every school program, especially in speeches and competitions, where her confidence and clarity always inspired us juniors. What made her different was that success never made her arrogant; instead, she remained grounded and approachable.
We used to stay in the same hostel during my 8th standard, and that’s how our rapport grew stronger. Later, we both studied in the same college, RGUKT, where once again she was my senior. Even though I had many known seniors, I always felt more attached to Bhavana. whenever I felt low, she was the one I would turn to; whenever I felt confused, she became a guiding star for me. She is very practical person in reality, yet beyond that, she is also a wonderful writer in both Telugu and English. Interestingly, in RGUKT she carried herself in one way, in school she appeared in another, showing the beautiful balance in her personality.
Apart from academics, she has always shown great interest in new skills. She learned to play the mobile piano, created a meme page that brought smiles to many, and spent her free time reading novels and poems. She is also gifted in the arts, with a talent for drawing and intricate mandala designs. Along with this, she has a sweet voice and is good at singing, making her an all-rounder who balances creativity with academics.
Her journey was not limited to academics alone. Bhavana displayed remarkable leadership qualities, whether it was guiding classmates during events or helping juniors prepare for competitions. She had the rare ability to motivate others without ever making them feel small. I still remember how she once motivated me before my exams-her words were so positive and reassuring that they stayed with me long after the exams were over. That moment not only boosted my confidence but also showed me the kind of senior, mentor, and friend truly is.
In every phase of student life, we meet people who influence us, but only a few leave a lasting mark. For me, Bhavana is one of those rare seniors who combines discipline, humility, talent and leadership in such a way that she became an inspiration to many. I feel grateful to have had her as my senior, and I am confident that she will continue to shine and inspire wherever life takes her. In the future, I even wish to have a podcast with her, so that her journey and thoughts can reach and inspire many more people.
