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.
