Read this story of courage of two girls - one from Bihar and the other from Jharkhand.

Two years ago, aged just 15, Harsha Mishra arrived in Delhi from her home in Patna after a quarrel with her parents. The stay in the capital for the teenager lasted just a couple of hours. Seeing her weeping on the platform at the station in Anand Vihar, a kindly man bought her tickets for her return.

Mishra is back in the city. But this trip hasn't been triggered by any emotional outburst. And she arrived not on a train, but a bicycle. Along with a friend, 21-year-old Savitri Murmu of Jharkhand, the 17-year-old girl is cycling 24,000 km across India to spread the message of 'Unity in Diversity and Women's Empowerment'.

The two girls have already traversed some 4000 kms.
