“I am the only one from my family who is in India right now. I arrived to India in the year of 1993. I started in the clothing business four years back here in Majnuka Tilla (MT). “
“Difficulties? Well, if you go one by one, then there are a lot of difficulties such as the small stall; Not having a proper shop is a problem in itself. I have to earn a living. I must save some money for my future.Everybody has some problems in his or her life no matter how rich or poor they are. It is a part of life. So, instead of problems that I have, I want to share what I am happy about.”
“You know that Delhi is famous for its heat and pollution. Then we have these seasonal diseases or virus, thanks to troops of mosquitoes’. Thus, what I am happy about is being in MT as I feel healthy and fit. That is what I am proud and content about. Above all, this place makes me independent rather than depended on someone else. I give what I have in my business and this place gives me an opportunity to do so. “
“Life here…. Well, I am sure that everybody has their own ideas and different points of view. So it is difficult to give a general presupposition. So I don’t know exactly what I should share as I hardly leave my stall, thus I don’t know much else to tell.”
