What did Hiraba Modi do to earn livelihood?
To help with household expenditures, mother used to wash dishes at a few homes. To boost our meagre income, she would also carve out time to spin the charkha.

Her main priority, even throughout this physically taxing labour, was making sure that we wouldn’t get pricked by the cotton thorns.-stated Modi’s blog
