A bedridden Veena spent months battling pain, despair, and depression. Her turning point came in early 2013 at Victoria Hospital, where she met a woman with no feet who was still leading a full life with a baby in tow.
“I wanted to create my own brand and achieve something. I wanted to push my limits and do something new every day. If I could do a desk job for eight hours daily, why can’t I stand for four hours?” she says.
Her stall quickly became popular, with customers lining up every morning to savour different varieties of dosas, including chicken, mutton, and prawn kari dosas. Running a food stall requires long hours of standing, but Veena doesn’t let that stop her.
