“My children are working too, but it’s not enough. So all of us had decided to move to different professions where we can earn more money.

I come from a town called Bapatla in the Guntur district.
I’ve been in this business for more than 15 years now. Earlier, I was a rickshaw puller but as the worked dried up, I switched to selling
rock salt.

I leave my house at 6 a.m. At the godown, I strap a load of around 30 – 40 kg rock salt on the pillion and start my rounds.
I cycle all day and I take home about Rs. 250 – 300 a day.

My evenings are spent at home, playing with my grandchildren. I take them to the beach sometimes; they like to play with balloons and eat ice cream there.

I want my grandchildren to study well in the future so I am still continuing to work even at the age of 67. One day I want to see them fly like balloons freely without any problems.”
