Watch: Elderly Woman, 89, Sells Bracelets In Mumbai Local Train, Inspires Internet

Inspiration can be found in the most unexpected places. It might come from a young child's curiosity about the world or an elderly person's meticulous dedication to their work. An Instagram user found it in a Mumbai local train after spotting an elderly woman selling beaded bracelets at the age of 89. Shared by Meeta Tushit Shah, the video shows her gently approaching the frail-looking woman and asking her name. Kamalaben Mehta, the elderly, replied before revealing that she lived in Nalasopara.

"Both heartening and strengthening? Met an eighty-nine-year-old lady climbing into the Mumbai local train in the afternoon, selling bracelets," Shah captioned the accompanying video.

Inspired by the strength of Kamalaben, Shah said she wanted to buy her entire stock but could not do so as she did not have enough cash on her.

"I wished to buy all but couldn't due to limited cash. She stated that she had to pay her family for her stay but didn't give her address so the family wouldn't face shame. Women empowerment indeed."
