Found this story on TrueReddit. Thought you might like it.
Indian guy decides to change the world by giving impoverished women access to quality pads. While developing his product, all the women in his life desert him - including his wife.
You read that right.
He's trying to make life better for all poor women everywhere and the women closest to him, the women who supposedly love him, can't be there to provide support.
When he achieves success, guess who's the first to give him a phone call?
"It was instant glory, media flashing in my face, everything" he says. "The irony is, after five-and-a-half years I get a call on my mobile - the voice huskily says: Remember me?"
It's all about status.
