The Story of My Life by legendary Helen Keller has been a tremendous source of inspiration for me.

She (Hellen Keller) emerged triumphant over the unprecedented physical anomaly being blind and deaf.

Her own words in the book revealed hers no turning back attitude.

Her intimacy with her teacher Anne Sullivan reminds us of the sublime bond between the two.

For Helen Keller, the late British prime minister Winston Churchill's words were 'The greatest woman of our age.'
