Nirmala, 52, has been selling vegetables for 28 years now. She was married to her husband when she was 18. 'Only the women earn in our house' she muses. She brought up her daughter to be a nurse, who works at the General Hospital now, while her son remains unemployed. 'When women are given the opportunity, they surprise you in so many ways. Once she was given the opportunity, my daughter blossomed'. Nirmala is now on a mission to make money to educate her grand daughter who's now 15 years old. Every morning after work, she goes to the government office where she tries to collect the money that the government has set aside for the marriage of young girls. 'I'm going to take that money and make her a doctor' she sniggers. 'She loves the hospital, maybe she got it from her mother'.
