"l came to Bombay in 1962 and started driving a taxi in 1964. My older brother and I lived in the same house and we raised our families together. He passed away in a car accident suddenly in 1975 and all Of a sudden I was the head of the family with IO people to support. I educated his children like mine, gave them the same pocket money and took care of them like my own and all my income was because of the taxi I was driving. As all the children grew Older, they took up part time jobs and eventually went on to get amazing job offers, My son is an MBA graduate who lives in London, my daughter has married in Canada and 4 of my brotheds children are in Canada as well. My life has been very simple. I'm 75 and still working because I believe that man should work as long as he can. I have never accepted a free meal and I like to be Independent. My home is India. How can I leave this taxi and Bombay when it has given me so much?" *
