Ratan, clad in traditional Maharashtrian nine-yard saree was carrying an open cardboard box. It was written, “I do not want to beg. Thank you. Bless you”.

Shikha in her post said, “She thanked us and didn’t even push us further to purchase more pens from her. Her integrity along with her sweet smile, kind heart and joyful attitude made me purchase more pens from her!

While ending her post Shikha said as P.S If you’ll are in MG road, Pune I would really like to encourage you’ll to interact and buy the pens from her!
