“I manage this stall all alone. I come here early in the morning to try and sell as much as possible. It is my every day routine. The speciality of this leaf is that it grows only once in a year that too only during summer season. It’s called Chinta chiguru in local language. Around noon, I go home to attend the household chores and then come back here. People line up in large numbers to buy these leaves. These are seasonal and has numerous benefits. It adds a lot of flavour to the food. My daughter always tells me to be unique in whatever I do and I follow her advice. She loves the fact that I only sell seasonal fruits and veggies here. Her aim is to study well and earn lot of money so that I don’t have to be on the streets in this heat! Well, I don’t have much to give her, but I am never going to put a limit on her dreams.”
