They say it isn't easy to find happiness in ourselves but it is impossible to find it elsewhere. Monica, from the #AskMonica fame traveled to a prison today. When we heard that as a team, we pictured a dull, punishment laden atmosphere but when Monica shared the images of the life on an inmate, we were pleasantly surprised.

What we do not realise is that, a lot of what we consume in a day; starting herbal medicines, shampoos, footballs, snacks and handicrafts are actually carefully manufactured by the inmates of various prisons across the country.

Monica didn't just have a wonderful time seeing and learning from hundreds of women who were serving a sentence, she learned a valuable life lesson- that would stick with her throughout. You cannot break someone's spirit.

Post conviction, one would imagine life gets tough and one's personality hardens but hundreds of these women have inspired all of us; that when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

It was indeed a pleasure of us to see how jobs were present even at the grassroots of the nation, to people we didn't even imagine. Because they looked, worked and earned!
