“In our times, our elders used to work not for the sake of earning money but out of pure passion. We inherited the same quality and passed it to our next generation. I have been learning
and
practising the art of
designing
buttalu since my childhood. As my parents never let me go to school, some of the best and most valuable lessons I have learned came from the people who are part of my life. The biggest lesson
I’ve
learnt is that the more the hard work, the
better
quality of our product and business.

There is a beautiful collaboration in our field, where men help us breaking the woods and women bring them to a proper shape. It takes one hour to design
one
butta. There are many varieties
of
buttalu and I should admit that I’m very good at what I do. There is no pressure on me and no one to dictate me. So, It’s my choice to assign the bandwidth of work to myself daily. On many instances, I spent days and nights doing whatever necessary to put food on the table and provide wealth for my family.

By default, I have become a self-reliant woman, but I still struggle to reserve some public space to showcase my products. The government should take the responsibility to accommodate trading location for us. Most times, I lack the strength to defend against municipal authorities, but my courage to speak about it will never stop.”
