The woman in this photo is Shila Ghosh.
87 years old.
From Pali village, West Bengal.
She lost her only son to a heart attack.
With no one left to support her…
She didn’t beg.
She got to work.
Every evening, Shila takes a bus from Pali to Kolkata.
To sell chips on the street.
Not for money.
But for dignity.
When someone asked her if it’s hard at her age,
She smiled and said:
“I take the bus. My health is still alright.”
She could’ve waited for help.
She could’ve begged.
But instead—
She chose self-respect over sympathy.
“I’ll work till my last breath,” she said.
“But I’ll never beg.”
This story was first shared by Sufia Khatun, a college student who met Shila in 2015.
There are no updates on her today.
But her story?
It still hits where it matters.
So next time you feel like giving up—
Remember Shila Ghosh.
She didn’t wait for a miracle.
She became her own solution.
And that’s what real strength looks like.
