I grew up in a small village in
Rajasthan, where the only thing that mattered was family and hard work. My
father was a carpenter, and he instilled in me a love for woodwork from a young
age. I remember watching him work with such precision and care, creating
beautiful pieces of furniture that would last for generations.
As I grew older, I knew that I
wanted to follow in my father's footsteps and become a carpenter myself. But in
my village, there were no opportunities for me to learn and grow in this field.
So, I made the difficult decision to leave my family and move to Bangalore,
where I had heard there were more job opportunities.
I arrived in the city with
nothing but the clothes on my back and the determination in my heart. I knew
that I had a lot to learn and that the road ahead would not be easy, but I was
willing to do whatever it took to achieve my dreams.
After a few days of searching, I
finally found a job at an interior design company. It wasn't exactly what I had
in mind, but it was a foot in the door, and I was eager to learn and prove
myself.
In the beginning, it was tough. I
struggled to keep up with the pace of the work and the demands of the job. But
I never gave up. I worked long hours, practiced my skills every chance I got,
and soaked up every bit of knowledge that I could.
Slowly but surely, I began to
make a name for myself at the company. My attention to detail and my dedication
to my craft impressed my colleagues and my superiors. I was given more
responsibilities and opportunities to work on bigger and more complex projects.
As the years went by, I became
more confident in my abilities and more passionate about my work. I was proud
of what I had achieved and grateful for the opportunities that Bangalore had
given me.
Looking back now, I realize that
leaving my village and coming to Bangalore was one of the best decisions I ever
made. It was a challenging and often lonely journey, but it was worth it to
follow my dreams and become the carpenter that I had always wanted to be.
As much as I loved my new job and
the opportunities it brought, living in a big city like Bangalore was not
without its struggles. I missed my family terribly and often found myself
feeling lonely and homesick. The fast-paced lifestyle and the constant noise
and chaos of the city took some getting used to, and there were times when I
longed for the peace and quiet of my village.
To make matters worse, I faced
discrimination and prejudice from some of my colleagues and superiors at work.
Many of them looked down on me because of my humble background and my lack of
formal education. They doubted my skills and my ability to succeed in such a
competitive and challenging field.
But I refused to let their
negativity bring me down. I knew that I had worked hard to get where I was, and
that I had a lot to offer as a carpenter and as a person. So, I continued to
work hard and prove myself, showing my colleagues and superiors that I was just
as talented and dedicated as they were.
Over time, I began to earn their
respect and admiration. They saw that I was a valuable member of the team and
that my skills and expertise were essential to the success of the company. And
as they began to recognize my worth, I began to feel more at home in Bangalore,
and more confident in my ability to thrive in this new environment.
Today, I am a respected and
successful carpenter, with a reputation for excellence and an ever-growing list
of satisfied clients. I have made a new home for myself in Bangalore,
surrounded by friends and colleagues who appreciate and value me for who I am.
And although I still miss my family and my village, I know that I made the
right decision in coming to this city, and that I have found a new family and a
new home here.
