|April 14, 2025
RADIATING positivity and with a 'chandanakuri' on her forehead, Rathnam P G greets all visitors with a handful of home-made chocolates.
Refusing to let the four walls of her room define her life, the 65-year-old has been keeping herself busy for the past 15 years with different activities that ensure a steady income.
Rathnam was affected by polio when just two, paralysing her left leg. Since then, she has fought bravely to rise above her limitations, trying to walk and run in her own way.
"I fell down frequently, but I rose and continued harder," Rathnam, a retired teacher, tells TNIE.
