"Shila Ghosh" : A lady 83 years old who lives at pali in West Bengal. Every evening
she comes from Pali to kolkata to sell the fries.One thing you don't know for sure is that she comes there all the way from Bally each day to sell a some 30 packets of papads @ Rs. 10/packetThe pedestrians out of respect buy the fries from her.After lung cancer took away her only son from her 5 years back,to make ends meet she works.Her nephew aged 30 works as a mover on meagre wages in pali.When asked if she has a problem in travelling,she weakly smile ans says“No,the bus gets me here and my health is not that bad”.
She earns 400 rupees per day but still it is less for her family of four.Circumstances could have easily forced her to beg but her dignity and respect is everything for her,she would work till the end of her life rather than beg on the streets.When we go on complaining she has chose to solve her problems on her own for as they say God helps them those who help themselves. We don't hope to achieve anything by doing this. We just hope that everyone of us who are privileged enough to lead a better life extend their helping hands to the thousands of Shila Ghosh around us.
