Dignity and respect is everything

Dignity and respect is everything 

Shila Ghosh, an 83-year-old woman lives in Pali in West Bengal, a state in the eastern region of India and is the nation’s fourth-most populous.

Her only son had heart ailment and passed away a few months ago. To make ends meet, Shila now works. Every evening, Shila comes from Pali to Kolkata to sell chips.

When asked if she has a problem in travelling, she weakly smiled and said: “No, the bus gets me here and my health is not that bad”. Circumstances could have easily forced her to beg but her dignity

and respect is everything for her, she is determined to work until the end of her life rather than to beg on the streets.
