Mumbai woman's touching tribute to mother for vada pav stall outside BMC hospital

In the bustling streets outside Mumbai's BMC Hospital, one vada pav stall has become more than just a place to grab a snack - it's a hub of warmth, connection, and a post on LinkedIn, Ishika Dhanmeher, marketing manager at Thomas Scott in Mumbai, paid a touching tribute to her mother who runs the vada pav stall.'My mom runs a vada pav stall in Mumbai. Right outside the BMC Hospital. My nani works inside the hospital. But my mom made relations. When she started 11 years ago, things were not smooth. Every other day, something would go wrong. Her stall would be broken. Something would be stolen. People around would taunt her,' she said, adding that the hospital staff did not let her mother work peacefully 'all because she dared to do something of her own'.advertisement But she persisted. Without complaint, she proved the quality of her food and told customers it was all homemade. Gradually, the very people who once doubted her became loyal patrons. Today, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff not only buy her vada pav but also invite her to hospital secret? Genuine connection. Despite not having formal education, she speaks to everyone in their own language - Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, Hindi, even English - making each person feel seen. She adapts her menu when trends shift and lifts the mood when the atmosphere feels low.'She builds relationships. She builds trust. She never asks for help, but help just finds her,' she said, adding that every time she visits the stall, she sees people excited just to talk to her a look at the post here: For Ishika Dhanmeher, the story is not about struggle but about personality as power. 'Two things I've inherited from her: communication and building genuine relationships. And if that's all I got from her - I already have everything I need,' she concluded.- EndsTune InMust Watch
