“Seven Brothers in a small house in Uttar Pradesh – This was how my life began. When there are many mouths to feed, a person soon starts craving for an independent life.

That is why I left my jobs there and set up this Panipuri stall. Now I know I am making people happy by spicing up their life a bit.”<\/p>\n

“Being left an orphan in the wide world at an age when many babies hardly learn to speak. I lost both my parents at the age of 1.5 years old. I was left in the “care” of my Chacha-Chachi. For me, my childhood had been daily rude taunts and a feeling of being lonely. When I reached my teenage, my cousin cheated me and I lost even the hope inheriting land which was mine. I was forced to move to Mumbai and start the job hunt. After a few years of hard work there, I moved to Bangalore. I am proud today, that I have raised two sons who are standing independently on their own. I don’t regret even working at this age because I know what struggle is. My grand-daughter\u00a0sometimes comes along with me to work and her smile makes everything worth it for me!”<\/p>\n
