The Quint: Meet the Pav Bhaji Seller Who Overcame a Disability to Realize His Father’s Dream

When Mitesh was given the cancer news, he was eight years old. His father had a heart attack, his mother had kidney failure, and his older brother also died in an accident.

Mitesh had to have his arm amputated due to cancer. I went to a hospital in Malad West (Mumbai) and had my arm removed after borrowing money from various places. Mitesh began managing his late father’s pav bhaji stall despite the difficulties and his infirmity. “After my father passed away, the stall was run by the five people who worked for him for five years. The workforce started requesting for a pay raise after I lost my family. I could no longer keep them since I was out of money. I gradually took over and handled everything by myself “Mitesh revealed to The Quint.

The World Stroke Organization established World Stroke Day in 2006 with the goal of highlighting the importance of stroke early detection. “Recognize stroke symptoms early and save #valuable time,” is the topic for this year.

The message put forth by the Indian Stroke Association is “ACT FAST, STRIKE@STROKE.” To combat this sly predator, the medical community, administrations, and policymakers must work together. Any delay will increase the likelihood of impairment and perhaps death. Similar to numerous medical setbacks, these losses significantly harm the nation’s economy.

A marriage between inmates was a first at the Chennai Institute of Mental Health.

Both don’t recall how they got to the IMH campus.

When they were admitted to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) roughly two years ago, they were strangers. But as the months passed, they grew close and shared a desire to start anew. In the 228-year history of IMH, P Mahendran (42) and Deepa (36) will wed on Friday in a nearby temple, making it the first inmate wedding.

Because of his concerns and suspicions surrounding his family’s properties during a contentious family dispute, Mahendran’s life had come to a complete stop. Deepa probably suffered from protracted sadness as a result of her father’s passing in 2016 and the isolation she felt at home in spite of the presence of her mother and younger sister.
