The good news is that he got his wife back after he began to succeed / get traction.

It says later that she came back when his invention took off. (Can you imagine that conversation?)
This whole story is straight out of a movie. Great article.

Is it good news? Maybe I'm being harsh but it sounds like his wife got sick of it all when times were hard, but was happy to stick around to reap the success. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

I don't know if it's a good news. Obviously, I don't know all the minute details of the situation but if I was him, I will not accept her back.

#8This is both inspiring and depressing.
Female medical students not wishing to talk to a man about menstruation.
The fatalistic, egotistical and selfish attitude epitomised by women being unconcerned about losing their uterus. And of course, if you don't care about your own uterus, you're unlikely to care about litter, the environment, or pretty much anything.
(ps, as someone who has spent a lot of time in India and whose parenta are Indian, this fatalistic selfishness isn't a gender based issue. It is, however, one of the corrosive elements of Indian culture that worries me).

#9What an inspiring story.
I grew up in a lower middle class family and I have two sisters. I know that my sisters and mom could not afford to use napkins because paying for the school fees was more important. As the story mentions, my sisters will take time off from school during those days.
His price of 12 rupees (25 cents) for 8 napkins is unbelievably cheap. That means a napkin costs 1.5 rupees which is less than a cup of tea you can buy at a road side stall in India. And I think 75%+ of his target market should be able to afford it.
BTW, you should visit the company's website, they have more details there:

My thoughts exactly. But you were more eloquent than I was.
