“Waking up at 4 AM everyday, and battling a water crisis, she would painstakingly measure each and every ingredient to attain that perfect texture for the dhokla or bhakarwadi. She would never compromise one bit with her traditional recipes.” #Tribute #RIP #Mumbai

Warned by family members and mocked by neighbouring farmers, Delhi’s 28-year-old Abhishek Dhamma leased his own family’s land to experiment with organic farming. The result will leave you inspired! #LiveGreen #GrowOrganic

“As a child, I saw more violence than love. I saw my father get drunk and beat my mother ruthlessly. I grew up believing that being aggressive and violent were normal characteristics,” informs Khushboo in a conversation with The Better India.

This #MothersDay, we celebrate the pure awesomeness and inspiration that are India's #SuperMoms. "She is our best friend, our mother, our father, our god, our everything! The amount of unconditional love that she has showered on us is immeasurable," says one of her daughters.

"I dismiss her suggestion every time. But when I compare the dustbin at my hometown to the one that is in my rented place, it begs the question- 'isn’t Aai’s way much more economical?'," writes a daughter about her 'Mother of All Recycling'.
