According to The New Indian Express, Jilumol made sure her life was as normal as usual and she taught herself to survive, thrive and live to her best potential while at it.
The 28-year-old learnt how to drive like a pro after getting herself a car.
Apparently, the beauty had always dreamt about owning and driving her own car and turned that into her purpose.
Now, she can manoeuvre her way around town with so much ease.
Her journey to taking a car from point A to point B required some nudging and pushing. Jilumol had to talk to her Regional Transport Officer (RTO) and beg to be allowed to take a driving test.
That was back in 2014 and in response, the dreamer was asked to search for a person with a case similar to hers.
The beauty was directed to look for the person's driving license and after a lot of sleepless nights, Jilumol found a driver whose case was identical to hers.
She was not lucky, she was blessed!

After that, the lady dug into her pockets and splurged her cash on a new ride designed specially for her needs.
"It was per the RTO's guidance that I bought the car and made alterations," Jilumol said.
