When COVID-19 began, I started and manage a home made food service business named 'Annapurna Bhavini's Kitchen': I take orders via Whatsapp, finish their deliveries, and give it to the delivery workers, that I've hired, to dispatch these orders. Like I said before, I used to run a company franchise (Jetking, Old Panvel), and through it, I have come to grow a large network of people. I especially treated covid infected families, the elderly, hospitalised people, and working professionals.

During 2020 (the COVID-19 era), I took utmost care of my family, but then, in November of 2020, I was diagnosed with COVID-19, and I suffered a lot. I especially missed eating healthy, home-made food. There were so many restrictions during that time: no maids, no cooks. To make sure no one ever had to suffer like I did, I began my food service business.

Due to the pandemic, children had to attend online classes. Their screen time increased, and their contact with children of the same age decreased, so I thought of starting tuition classes for children studying in playgroup to Grade 2. I wanted to dsitradct them from media, and divert their minds from online to offline, and teach them basics of education moral and values in a very friendly environment.

So whatever experience-based knowleedge I've aquired since 1989 to 2013 was very useful for me to become a good housewife, a loving mother, a caring daughter-in -law, an approachable neighbour, and a respectable and responsible member of society. I was able to balance my work and my life with the cooperation of my dear husband. Now, I am a housewife, and I have been since 2013, having my food service business and my tuitions.

Since I was small, I have always been the breadwinner. I have always worked tirelessly. I am a businesswoman through and through. As the great Spanish artist, Picasso once said, "Action is the foundational key to all success."

As a social worker, many of those whom I have served — especially during the COVID-19 era — have blessed me, be they hospitalised or in self-quarantine. My inspiration behind this was the passing of my own father: I did not want another person to ever miss out on one of the basic necessities of human life, that is, a hot, homemade meal, prepared with love. This field is tiring, but at the end of the day, I can feel the love my customers feel, when they can unwind with a good meal ready for them. Many of my grateful customers have gifted me things as a token of appreciation, for example, this statue of Lord Ganesh by a family, for when I had continued serving them through the death of my father. On the day he was cremated, eight of them had be given their regular orders. This field is truly noble, and for its nobility, multiple social event managers have invited me, and felicitated me with awards and trophies, including my own housing society, but the awards don't matter to me as much as the people I serve. When I was working as a visiting lecturer my college has also felicitated me as a popular teacher ...In my career from 1999 to 2013 I have won many awards and trophies in the area of operations,  sales, placement  and quality....looking forward to contribute to the human race with help of this experience.
