Wiggles, yes she does!  Divya aka Wiggles fell from the sky 30 feet to the ground and landed on her feet and then tipped over. Since she wasn’t a winged creature that could fly, the forces of nature wrought havoc on her body. Now she wiggles when she walks and prefers this nickname. It reminds her of how the worst moment of her life also brought about one of her best moments. She shares her life changing moment with us - listen to her story now.
