Megha, 2, was anxious to know why Aakanksha Sadekar hadn't come to deliver food to her home that day in April. The 32-year-old petroleum engineer explained to the little one that she just wanted to get some rest, when Megha replied, “Maasi, kal aana!” (Aunty, come tomorrow). Sadekar’s acquaintance with the little girl was just limited to meeting her for a few minutes while distributing food in her locality. That day, however, she realised that even random acts of kindness could help you build a family that looks forward to seeing you every day. “These families depend on me and I have to take care of them,” she tells Forbes India.
