In Chandigarh, a 62-year-old lady is proving that it is never too early or too late to pursue your dreams. She has set up her own street food vendor stall selling an array of popular Indian snacks such as dahi bhalla, golgappa, aloo tikki, and chole bhature.
Two months back, she made a bold move towards following her passion for food, soon attracting eyeballs for her delectable food. Her journey gained widespread popularity after a food blogger stopped by her stall and took a video of her making dahi puri for a customer.

When asked about her offerings, she enthusiastically and with a smile went through her menu, happily enumerating all the food items she serves. Looking back at her endeavor, she stated, “Prior to this, I was a housewife. I was always interested in food, so I thought I should just do it. Why should I pay attention to my age? You can take any hobby at any age.” She continued, “I have been cooking food for the last 50 years.”
Social Media Applause
The emotional video has taken the social media by storm, with almost 3 lakh views. There is a deluge of praise in the comments section for her courage and tenacity.

This is not the only tale of older people who chase their aspirations. Recently, another video appeared, depicting a 108-year-old man as a vegetable seller on the roads of Moga, Punjab. Despite being aged, the older vendor was captured selling onions and potatoes with a smile.
