TBIs 5 Most-Loved Stories of 2021 Are an Ode to Human Spirit Creativity #IndiaNEWS #Inspirational
2021 comes to a close, and what a frantic and extraordinary year it has been, in both senses. Thanks to the pandemic and our economic conditions, it has been extraordinarily difficult. But once again, our readers have shown us that they can be extraordinarily kind, graceful and inspirational, even in the toughest of times.
Every year, it only reinforces why we at TBI are doing this the highlight the positive change that ordinary Indians are making every day. And this year, our resolve was only strengthened, as we were almost overwhelmed by the heroes who emerged from every corner of the country, across every sector.
From small innovators taking their first step to building global brands, to simple farmers showing how organic food has a profitable future, to students and interns running helplines for thousands of needy patients every day has been a revelation.
As usual, now that the year is done, we are taking a look at the stories you loved the most throughout the year. This list features five of your favourites, but it is not a direct most read list. Many times, what was most read was not what triggered inspiration or impact. For example, many of our most-read stories had to do with medical resources and advice during the deadly second wave of COVID. Others were for jobs or advice for various exams.
Keeping those aside, we chose five stories that generated the most feedback and led to the most impact. These are the stories that saw hundreds of emails and comments, with many choosing to make changes in their own lives, thanks to what they read here.
Here they are:
Not A Single Branch Was Cut To Build This Three-Storey House On A 40-Foot Mango Tree

Imagine being able to pluck fresh mangoes without having to move from bed. Or waking up to the sounds of birds right next to you, with their nests built inside your bedroom.
For most of us, this sounds like a scene out of a Disney movie. But for Ajmer-born businessman Kul Pradeep Singh and his family, this is an everyday reality — their house is built atop a 40-foot mango tree!
This three-storey treehouse has two bedrooms, a kitchen, a library and a living area and is located in Udaipur. The area where our treehouse stands is known for its fruit trees. People used to sell these fruits from over 4,000 trees for a living. But due to an increase in population, they started cutting the trees down, he explains.
This treehouse has found its name in the Limca Book of Records and is visited by many tourists. So the next time you visit Udaipur, along with the beautiful forts and palaces, add this fantastic treehouse to your itinerary.
