“I studied only till class 5 and then started doing different jobs because of our financial condition. My father always told me to be honest at everything I did and that became my motto for life.

In 1984, I rented a friend’s auto and became an auto rickshaw driver. Few years later, I got married and soon welcomed my son into this world. I wanted to give my son everything he needed, so I worked hard and bought my very own rickshaw, 4 years after I first started driving. I wanted my son to grow up into a good, honest man but I didn’t want to waste time in giving him advice. I knew he’d never pay attention to it so I decided to lead by example and I have been doing that for all these years. When he graduated from college and got a job in a leading IT firm, I was so proud of him. I never received proper education but I’m glad I could give everything possible to my son and he holds a respectable position today. I love talking about his achievements to my friends and relatives. He has two kids of his own now and when I see him with them, I feel content knowing that I didn’t just raise a good son, I raised a good father too and I hope he teaches the same to his kids.”
