So besides my Mom, who I have seen endure so much in her life and still come through, I would say Sudha Moorty. She is such an amazing woman, her story is so inspiring. She breaks all the so-called standards of how one shud dress, live, behave and just focuses on being a decent person. Really admire the way she has handled herself and her life. If I manage to be even 10% like her in my life, I would be satisfied.

Well. Each and every woman is an inspiration in one way or the other and I get inspired by all of them whenever I get to know about their stories. Recently I was reading an article of Daulat Bi Khan, an acid attack survivor herself, she has launched a foundation to help others like her and is now fighting to ensure they get medical treatment, counselling and education. She speaks to All Indians Matter about her battle with pain, trauma and the fight for justice she undertook for herself and other survivors. 

I keep coming back to only 1 answer in my mind every time I read this question anywhere: My mom. My superwoman. She inspires me the most along with my 3 masis (aunts). Can't think of one thing that my mom doesn't know how to do!
