This 48-year old mother of three lives under a plastic sheet, like millions of Indians do, in the parking lot of a South Delhi movie hall. But what makes her different is that for 28 years, she has been feeding street dogs out of the little that she earns by selling plastic bottles and other items scavenged from the market.

Little wonder that she has won an award in the social bravery category of the Godfrey Phillips Bravery National Awards 2009.

Or does this hold true universally?

The less you have the more you share,
The more you have the less you care.
