In our busy lives, we get upset over small things and often give up. Sometimes some stories wake us up and shake us from within. These stories make us think whether our lives are really as difficult as those of others. One such story is that of 70 year old Deepali Ghosh from Bengal, whose tremendous hard work and struggle teaches us that no challenge can be bigger than one’s courage.
Who is Deepali Ghosh?
Instagram user Aradhana Chatterjee has posted a video on her wall, which tells the story of 70-year-old Deepali Ghosh. Deepali’s husband has passed away, and she has been running a dilapidated restaurant single-handedly for the last 30 years. He hardly gets five customers a day, yet his morale has not diminished. It is also surprising that even at this age, Deepali does all the work in the restaurant herself. His restaurant is going through very bad times. It is broken and can fall any time. The walls are so dirty that it seems as if they have not been painted for centuries. Deepali’s clothes are also torn. Despite this, Deepali diligently cooks and feeds her customers, and sleeps at night in a corner of her narrow shop.

At this age, Deepali cooks food, washes utensils, and takes care of the shop and customers. At night, she sleeps on a piece of plywood. Instagram user Aradhana Chatterjee explains in her video that Deepali’s condition has worsened since the lockdown, and she has lost her hearing. She does not want to go to any old-age home and wants to live a respectable life by doing all the work herself. He did not get any help from anywhere, so his courage is his greatest strength.
This video of Deepali is going viral on social media and has won the hearts of internet users. People are getting emotional after watching this video and are offering to help Deepali. People say that his hard work at this age is an inspiration for millions of people who give up. Deepali’s story is heart touching. A 70-year-old woman, without a husband or family, does not beg to save her honour, but cooks and feeds as much food as she can to the customers who come to her dilapidated shop.
