I am talking about a small seller. Daily he travels approximately 50kilometers on bicycle. He is selling chocolates and biscuits in small general stores which are located in villages. He is covering all the sorrounding villages. It is really a hardwork. I think he may earns Rs.100(two dollars maximum) per day. His have three children. His son is degree completed and doing same work. His elder daughter is studying engineering in the town. He paid $1000dollars(aprx. Rs 50,000) per annum for her studies. Another daughter is studying 10thclass now. How can he is running his family? Really it is a problem. (I am patiently asked him some questions, he answered with smiley face, that is his greatness, he is tasting the real pain of life, and he is working for his family development restless, I feel happy that i meet a real person today)

That is a real person, sweetie. Money is not the object of his life. His family is. These people are very rare and one of a kind. We can learn a lot from them. TATA

He is to be greatly admired. I don't see how he had sent his children to college on those wages. Kudoes to him & his children.

yes this shows how ours parents care and don't hesitate to do anything in life for their children. They work very hard for their children to live but sometimes we forget those of their hard work for us. Again from this post i want every reader of this post to look themselves once again.

Hi, I am also from India and understand well the poverty of my country. There are lot of people under the poverty level here who are still battling daily to survive from their daily expenditure as well as to feed their other family members. But it found me strange that if that person is earning about Rs.100 daily then he is earning Rs. 36,500/- yearly, may be Rs.40,000 to Rs. 50,000/ yearly. Then how he is paying the study fees of his daughter as Rs.50,000 ? May his son is also earning same as his father, but I think it is quite difficult to maintain a family by rest of the amount after paying Rs.50,000 for his daughter's engineering studies. Anyway, thanks for your nice and informative writings to here.

This is truly a blessing to have met such an inspirational person today. Sometimes we need to see a very hardworking diligent person so that we realize that our own crisis at the moment may not be so bad as others may have it. God Bless this wonderful man, he not only was raised appropriately he is showing his family that sometimes as parents and as people we must do what we have to do to survive.

This is a perfect example of how a good father takes care of his children, putting all the efforts for the life and future of the children. It is certainly an excellent story that you have posted here. I am very much impressed with it. Yes, I have seen people who are working so hard for the wellbeing of the family, sacrifising their own comfort and pleasure. I wish all the best for the future of this person too !

hi rameshchow You are very astute. this man sounds like a real person indeed, caring and loving for his family and working so hard. I am sure his three children love him and really appreciate all he has done for them . I certainly hope so.Yes indeed I agree you have meat a real person but he must have earned more than you thought to be able to pay one thousand dollars for his daughter's engineering studies. Nevertheless he is much to be admired for all his kindness.
