Ek Din Uske Saath Mai Ngo Me Aurto Ko Kaise Apni Saaf Safai Evm Sehat Ka Khyal Rakhna Chahiye, Ek Karyakram Me Gayi, Vaha Mujhe Aur Bhi Meri Umer Ki Aurte Mili, Jo Vaha Per Free Silai Sikh Rahi Thi, Aur Saath Hi Saath Thele Silai Kerke Paisa Bhi Kama Rahi Thi. Maine Bhi Vaha Apna Dakhila Le Liya Aur. Silai Sikhne Ke Saath Saath Maine Vaha Turant Hi Thele Ki Silai Bhi Shuru Ker Di Aur Pehli Baar Jab Mujhe Es Silai Se Paisa Mila Vo Mere Ab Tak Ke Jeevan Ki Pahli Vo Kamai Thi Jispe Sirf Mera Adhikaar Tha, Mujhe Kisi Ko Koi Hisaab Nahi Dena Tha. Pahli Baar Hi Maine Jaana Ki Apne Pairo Per Khada Hone Ka Kya Matlab Hota Hai.
Maine Pahli Baar Hi Un Paiso Se Apne Liye Vo Samaan Kharida Jo Kabhi Mai Apni Us Umer Me Nahi Kharid Paayi Jab Mai Chahti Thi.Magar Es Baat Ko Bhi Maine Jaana Ki Apni Mehnat Se Kamaya Paise Se Koi Bhi Umer Ho, Job Hi Pahno Ya Odho, Apne Pe Jachta Hai, Kyoki Vahi Se To Hamari Udaan Shuru Hoti Hai.
Mai Bahut Aabhari Hoon Es Baat Ke Liye Ki Ngo Me Kutch Bhi Sikhne Ke Liye Na Paisa Lagta Hai, Na Hi Koi Umer Ki Seema Hai. Tabhi Mujhe Aaj Apni Baat Samne Rakhne Ka Moka Mila, Yahi Meri Safalta Hai. Dhanyavaad
