She had always nurtured a dream to be a psychologist and the good news was that she secured 4th rank in the entrance examination Poulomi’s mother Mintu Moni Hazarika and her little brother Tathagata (7) are still undergoing treatment at Jorhat Medical College Hospital and wish them a speedy recovery. All we can say to Poulomi is congratulation and may your soul rest in peace.
