SEHORE: Age is just a number for 72-year-old Lakshmi Bai, who earns a livelihood by typing documents on a typewriter in front of the District Collectorate in Madhya Pradesh's Sehore.
Her commitment towards life even got the attention of star cricketer Virender Sehwag, who called her a "superwoman" on Twitter.
"I do this to repay loans I took after my daughter met with an accident. I can't beg. I got this job with help of then District Collectorate Raghvendra Singh and Sub-Divisional Magistrate Bhavana Vilambe," Lakshmi Bai told ANI.
On June 12, Sehwag shared a video of her on Twitter and said that the Indian youth can learn a lot from her.
A superwoman for me. She lives in Sehore in MP and the youth have so much to learn from her. Not just speed, but the spirit and a lesson that no work is small and no age is big enough to learn and work. Pranam ! pic.twitter.com/n63IcpBRSH
