MAKING INDIA

Sreekumar is a mason. He takes up contracts for construction. His clients are truly satisfied with the result that he has no time to spare. He does not market himself. But referrals keep him busy.

Anjitha, his wife is a capable woman. She has supported him through thick and thin. The family is complete with their two daughters. The daughters are married off to two fine young men who  hold good jobs.

The happy family found itself in a corner when Anjitha fell ill. It was a cardiac ailment. She was advised to undergo  bypass surgery for survival. The family pooled all their resources to make Anjitha go through the procedure. The surgery was successful. Anjitha was advised by Doctors that she had to keep herself active after convalescence.

Sreekumar came up with the idea of opening a vegetable store that Anjitha could look after staying at home. Though the idea was great, logistics proved a herculean task. Sreekumar loved Anjitha very much that he never wanted to lose her.

What Sreekumar is doing today goes a long way in the making of India. He works hard. India is vibrant because it has people like Sreekumar.

Sreekumar wakes up at 4.00 AM every day. He goes to the wholesale market to procure vegetables for the store that opens at 6.00AM. On Sundays he is at the distant market where he buys tuber crops. Sreekumar goes for his construction activity once the vegetables are stacked in the shelves. Anjitha manages the store. The gentleman has not finished yet. He has set up at home machinery for preparation of sip up that children like very much. He does the work himself. The product is supplied to local shops. The store accepts orders for vegetables and Sreekumar in his spare time does the door delivery.

No doubt Sreekumar and Anjitha are made for each other and  are very popular in the locality.
