“I have been delivering newspapers in Andhra Prabha Colony in Vijayawada for more than eight months now. I cover about 40 houses and most of them are apartments. In many of the apartments, the lift isn’t turned on until about 6:30 AM. So the customers say it’s alright if I throw the paper into their balconies and I have never missed my aim till date.
I took up this job because I wanted to support my family. One of my friends was working as a newspaper delivery boy, so I approached him to get me a job as well. That’s how I started. The timings are pretty convenient and it doesn’t coincide with my college either. I start my day at 5:00 AM. I meet my friend everyday and we both cycle together from our colony to Food junction Circle where we pick up the newspapers and deliver them before 7:00 AM. When I first started out, my boss used to give me a written slip along with the names indicating which newspaper I have to deliver in which house number. But I memorized it all within a month. After we deliver the newspapers, all of us assemble at a basement close-by to tell the count to our boss. After that, I cycle back home and get ready for college. My parents don’t want me to work at all but I want to, so that we can save some money for my higher studies. I am in class12 right now and I want to become a Computer Science Engineer in the future!”
