THE GREAT INDIAN #4

- September 24, 2020

After completing my graduation as every student thinks of a decent job I was also dreaming about that one. I was eager to earn money just to maintain financial stability in my family. So, I decided to go to a city where I can start work for a company and to make live my wanton of job. I did not find any reference for any job so I went to Delhi with my father. I started working in a transport company. I was excited to use my education and so started to work hard. I worked there for some months, work was good but the amount was not up to my hard work. This job was not about the definition of which I was expecting. I turned the road of my career to new direction. I switched to different job and work restlessly, I became a working animal but I was not getting much amount to just survive for myself. This time I decide to go to Mumbai where some of my friends were already working and always ask to come.

I went to Mumbai, financial capital of India, what I know and so I was dreaming to more salary. My friends referenced to me for a company. I did not like the working conditions of the company though I worked there for some months but did not feel contented and move back to my home. I was again hopeless.

For spending some months in home without work and also thinking the ways of getting more amount. Till that time I decided, I will not get much amount even after working hard whether I will work in any city. I found one of the solutions for my problem and it was about going abroad. I approached so many agents and consultancies which can send me there. Finally I got working visa for Dubai. This time also I went with my friends. I sad first time in plane and feeling excited to reach. It was new country new place and new work as I was thinking. All the people think about abroad as very developed and do not have much problems, everything is so superfast. But it is not true.

I stayed with my friends for one night. Next day I started to work for a construction company. I have to work on site. For work I have to walk daily six to seven kilometer which make me fatigue every night. In Dubai the main problem is not for me but for everyone its temperature. During day time temperature reaches to more than 50 degree Celsius. It was not the work for which I was dreaming in side plane. But I was enjoying the facilities of company. Some time I felt, like I was getting good amount of money, I was eating delicious food, everything was good, but there was something missing that I’m not with my family, I’m not helping them morally. For which I always talk about with my family members. Some time I felt nostalgic and thinking that I am not helping my family, by not spending good time with them. I missed a lot my family whenever they told me about any festivals and any marriage party. Though, I cannot share my problem with my family members, I did not want them to know about my problems and feel sympathy for me.

I started to search for an office work in the same company. I became a hunter for job. Some of friend and senior helped me and I got partially office work in which I have to work for some time in office and some time in site. As almost two hundred employees worked under me sometime it felt like king sitting in office and ordering. I carried on this job.

After going for the first time to Dubai I worked for approximately three years. I want to stay more than that but my mother insisted me to come back to home and for this I have to take leave. I was expecting for more leave but as per company rule I got only for three months. I Dubai there is a company rule for leave, like if you work for one year than you will get leave for one month only.

I was in home for this time and enjoying the home made food, going and meeting to relatives and with friends as I was an NRI for them. Respect and love of my family did not want me to go again do Dubai. But I went because I want to help my family financially.

I came back for my marriages, this time cancelled my visa as I do not want to go to Dubai, but I was planning to go somewhere else. But the plan was fail as I was stuck in lockdown during corona virus. All the flights stopped. I have nowhere to go so I searched for some work available in local. I found this time my family needs more support financially but I was not supporting them as much as it was needed. I started working in brickfield just to load the tractor from the bricks. I think it was the worst time of my life. It was very hurt full for me to work. After working for some days I got swelling in my hand. I did not carry on this work.

Again I was hopeless and living without work. I discussed all the problems with my uncle. He was also living in abroad. He advised me to start something your own. And he suggested some MSME projects. I followed his advice and get information about some of the projects that I liked, but for this I need some investment. I travelled on bike for more than a six hundred kilometres during lockdown just to inquiry about the machinery involved in this, and the skill to start this factory. Again my uncle helped me financially. As per the budget and demand of market, I started fruit juice packaging factory. For this I invested more than one lac. I was excited do something for myself, with living with my family. And during lockdown, wearing mask, I bought the entire machine and raw material involved though it was not easy but anyhow I managed to arrange all this. And the time came, we started the production and it was amazing, the product was more in demand. We got increasing our stock. We were generating the revenue in starting (By God‘s blessing) which we did not expect. Even, we are the winner from corona virus. Still we do not know, even we can’t expect how much, we can generate revenue when we will start its full production and marketing, when everything become normal. This is the starting…
