RETIREMENT, AND BEYOND

Along with retirement came requests for appearing on television and radio, where she would discuss her favourite topics on diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension. Once when she gave her viewers a phone number, she received in excess of 300 calls, some came in from northern neighbor Canada. These days when Mrs Deepi Singh, lady of extraordinary willpower, finds the time, she is to be heard on radio, talking about nutrition, diets and weight reduction. Even writing for publications is something she likes.

A message for the world? “Well, whatever handicap you have, you can conquer those with hard work, sincerity and willpower. Determination will help you triumph over all obstacles and roadblocks.” Few can deny that the girl from Lyallpur has indeed walked the talk, and come a long, long way.
