“I completed my Bachelors degree in Arts , but failed to earn a stable income. I spent years switching jobs. I would take up something new and not show up within  few days because I couldn’t connect with that environment. I did not take anything seriously until I was 25. It became normal for my family members to find out that I had disappeared every now and then. They would force me to work but I always took the easy way out in life. When my first daughter was born, she suffered from a serious birth illness. The doctors said that it would cost around 5 lakhs for her treatment. I was stuck in situation where I had no choice but to depend on my parents savings. I can’t explain how shaken I was at that moment. I had taken things for granted for so long that it was a harsh reminder to get myself going in life. It was hard to find a job as no one believed that I would stick around, but my wife believed in me. She kept pushing me not to give up and finally, I decided to become an Auto Rickshaw driver. Ever since, I’ve worked hard every single day. I realised that my purpose is to educate my daughter, make my parents proud and my wife happy. I have learnt to appreciate the things in life and am grateful that I got the jolt I needed. I finally became the responsible man my family always wanted me to be.”
