A story of extraordinary courage and defiance is unfolding in the heart of Delhi—in Shastri Park. Meet Nirmala. She is a 40-year-old woman and her journey is nothing short of inspiring. For the past 20 years, Nirmala has been repairing punctures, a job that is traditionally considered for men. She entered this profession following a devastating loss. When her husband died, Nirmala found herself as the only breadwinner of the family, with no sons to share the responsibility. When she had to support her three daughters, she took up the job of a puncture mechanic, and she did it with courage.

Nirmala’s day starts as early as six in the morning and ends as late as eight in the evening. Nirmala’s hands, which are strong and steady, have patched up punctured tyres over the years. While two of her daughters are now married and have started their own families, she has also been able to send her third daughter to school. This is the story of Nirmala—a woman of sheer grit.

In a world where women’s strength is not recognised, she stands as a role model. It is a real life example of how gender should not be a determinant of a person’s occupation. Nirmala fixes tyres, and in the process, supports her family and at the same time—breaks barriers that are gender related and demonstrates that strength is not in the gender, but in the heart. As we delve into her story, we see more than just a woman doing a man’s job. We see a mother, a provider and a trailblazer who has rewritten the narrative of her life, one puncture at a time.
