arunjeet singh , Sardar head is acting up again!! What a shame ! She should be given free electricity rest of her life and a iPad!!! There is no proudness in it now. It was great that she grew up with meager luxuries. Preserving to the future generation by disrespecting herself is a deep routed poverty within her and deep obscurity she ingrained. She seems to be rich with her poverty of life!!! Stupid sons and daughters should be shameful! She deserves better and it is wrongful to appreciate her poverty living by selfish relatives. Sinful kids of her. Dirty living is sign of her deep rooted poverty within her, a disease that needs treatment. She need psychological counseling right away!

Two lessons i learned from respected hema sane and her self spoken words of wisdom: 1: Everyone should have their own ideas how to live life. I cannot say or stand that my idea is the ideal one. I dont have any tall claims at all. My life is like this. I like it. *Live life on your own terms irrespective of whether the society, family likes it or not.* Secondly 2 : interviewer : given a chance would you change anything ? Hema sane : _after a moment of silence_ in marathi "* challai te chan challai *" - meaning (whats going on is going great) The acceptance and adoration and fully embracing the path you've choosen. one example is this beautiful lady. My wholehearted respect and salute to you maam. 😊 ❤️

If what she says is final, then why are prophets born time to time. Even Buddha and Mohammed were here to help in evolution, and if she is supporting stagnancy, that everyone has his/her own way, she may be peaceful but so does think this Delusional society, that they are right too and what is the difference? She just chose a different fashion for herself like Gandhi out of her beliefs, but not proposing a evolution like karma yogis such as Subhash Chandra Bose or Bala Gangadhar Tilak or Sarvepalli Radha Krishna etc

I am totally speechless after watching this video. Seriously how much mechanical we eventually became... No electricity no life.... May God gives me an opportunity to meet this intellectual lady.. May God bless her.
Her modesty when she says "I don't claim that my way of living is ideal, it's what I like" just opened my eyes that how we always try to find the perfect way to do any, even live our life, while there is only one way that is live at your own means!
Thank you so much for recommending this, I'm going to share this with everyone. She's such a strong lady with rich wisdom. I hope I stop wasting resources
Thanks you tube to recommend me ... India have talent....😍
