"When my friend booked an Uber for me on the last day, this lady came to pick me up. After the ride started, I noticed a kid sleeping in the front seat. I could not resist asking:
Ma'am, is that your daughter? Image
Yes, sir, my daughter and she is on vacation now; hence I am working and babysitting together.
I was curious, so I wanted to know more.

Her name is Nandini, and she drives a cab in Bangalore.
She wanted to be an entrepreneur and started a food truck a few years back with all her savings. But then covid hit, and she lost all the money she had invested.

Post that, she started driving a cab.

“I am really scared of failures. Coming from a lower-middle-class family, I saw a lot of failures. When I came from #Delhi, I had no family. At a certain juncture in my life, I was thrown out on the road because we could not pay rent.

Poverty instils fear, stress and sometimes depression,” #SRK once shared in interaction with around 800 management students.
"When I decided to shift to #Mumbai, I had 1500 Rs in my bank account, which I had earned from 'Circus' & 'Fauji'.
What I am today is because a lot of people came together to ease my path when I needed it the most. I still don't check my bank account because I know I have at least 1500 Rs, which is important!

Jamshed Irani was only 32 when he joined the #TataSteel in 1968.
He quickly earned the reputation of a hard taskmaster and never took no for an answer. Image
Colleagues remember him as someone who knew the nitty-gritty of steelmaking.

A big feather in his cap was unfurling the #modernisation at the Jamshedpur plant, which included automation in the mid-1980s.
Recalling when he turned up on an occasional Sunday to check if everything was on track,a former colleague says,"His desire was to take Tata Steel to the 21st century & in every sense,he was the architect & the man who took complete charge of the implementation of every project."

"I had just returned from school and saw a few visitors at home. My mother asked me to serve them tea. I realised they had come to ask my hand in marriage only after they left.
@moosa_jasmine Image
Within a week, I was engaged, and just three days later, I was married to a man I met on my wedding day for the first time. The night after the wedding, he tried to pin me down forcefully. One year later, I got to know he was autistic.
I filed for divorce. My family declared me a burden.
The next subsequent alliance was precisely the kind of guy I wanted. He assured me that he was ready to accept me for who I was. This could be a new chapter in my life.
