"In 2006, my attacker thought he destroyed by life and that I won't get love. Today, I can look back and see how wrong he was, because I learnt my biggest lesson in love then." - Pragya Singh (Pragya is an acid-attack survivor who now runs an NGO and works a day job)
"I have always been against dowry, but my father gave him Rs. 20,000 at our wedding. When I finally told him I did not like it, he said he would pay it back in instalments. He kept his word, and I fell in love with him." - Usha Rai (featured here with her husband Prabhakar Rai)
"At first, I was disgusted by the wheelchair. I refused to accept it. I didn't want to do anything with it. Then, I realised it held the secret to my mobility and independence. Without my wheelchair, I would be stuck in one place, and that won't do. Today, my wheelchair is my best friend, my partner in crime." - Dr. Rajlaxmi (featured here in her favourite spot in the city with her best friend)
"Everyone calls me Little Neymar. But I'm not little!"- Raju (Raja is a football prodigy aged 3 years)
