It had been five years since he left Nepal for the United Kingdom, chasing the dreams his mother, Susmita, had envisioned for him.

One evening, after another grueling 12-hour shift, Anmol sat on his small bed in his shared apartment. His phone buzzed. It was his mother. "Anmol, Dashain and Tihar are coming.

Despite the horrors and hardships, she maintained a grateful attitude toward life. These characteristics, and her particular sense of humor, permeate her story, even in chapters with painful themes: the death of her father, her madness; her suicide attempt in the Caspian Sea and her decision to come to Mexico, where she rebuilt her life and lived with artists, writers, dancers and filmmakers at a time of great cultural effervescence in the country, even participating as an actress in some films. .

Menstrual Man(en)

Some folks squirm at mention of a woman’s period…not Arunachalam Muruganantham. Considered a madman and pervert by his community, he ignores his detractors and makes his dream—low-cost sanitary pads made by and for rural Indian women—a reality. Using manually operated machines, Muruganantham’s microbusiness model is focused on something more important than profits: providing sustainable employment, hygiene and emancipation to women who would otherwise go without. He’s a man with a million-dollar idea—except money has nothing to do with it. His goal is to make a livelihood, not to accumulate wealth; to operate at a human scale, not a multinational one. Menstrual Man is the inspiring story of a hero who rises above poverty and a lack of education to become a superstar social entrepreneur in the business of breaking cultural taboos and re-inventing the economic pyramid. Muruganantham is leading a movement, not a company. And it’s spreading.
