The story of Ashwini and Ankush Shah which screams that Kindness and Humanity are still alive in this World

Today, I came across the story of Ashwini and Ankush Shah and would like to share the same with you. This young couple met met while doing MBA together and are now working together in the Indian corporate sector. So, one wonders what they are doing at at a food-stall outside Kandivli station in Mumbai.






The answer to that question is their 55 years old housemaid whom they fondly call Amma. Amma's husband is sick, paralyzed and in need of costly healthcare due to which Amma has to work day in and out at households but still she is in need of more money.

As soon as Ashwini and Ankush came to know about it, they came forward to support Amma. However, they didn't want to burden her with more debt by giving money to her. They knew that Amma has good skills with cooking, so instead, they setup a small-scale food business for her! They let her use their kitchen as Amma would cook poha, idli, paratha, etc. and the couple would daily reach early and sell the food at a stall from 4:00AM to 10:00AM at Kandivali station and then they'd depart to work. This has become their daily routine!

I want to salute people like them from the bottom of my heart, they prove to us that humanity is still alive in this world, it ain't dead yet!
