Born at just 1.02 kg, Eliza is no regular baby. She was born an entire two months early after her mother fell into a coma due to a high level of stress. The source of stress is her father's job. Anand Waghmare, 42, an aviation engineer with Air India, has not been paid his salary for seven months, allegedly in harassment for being a whistle-blower.

When she was born, doctors had thought Eliza would not survive more than five days, as she had developed intra-ventricular haemorrhage (brain bleed). Now, four months old, the infant survived miraculously, but is still in a critical condition and needs surgery.
