The challenge of the unknown can always bring new experiences
A couple of months ago, I ran into a young couple. The man would be 36 plus and his wife would be four years younger. The young man had migrated to Baroda in Gujarat and the young lady, who hailed from a village near Madurai, was then a bit amazed at the change that was bound to happen. After all, bankers had to be ready to accept new challenges.This young girl had then studied the local environment. She discovered a big market for the South Indian tiffin items. She started cooking something extraordinary and started selling them through the online method. The what s up group in the gated community where they lived, simply brought in new orders.
Today, she not only reportedly manages this business, but is also marketing the brands of some masala powders that are not commonly sold in the super-markets. Since Baroda is a fabulous city, seven years down the line, her Hindi has improved leaps and bounds and their only son knows at least four languages, including Gujarathi.
From whatever was shared with me, the husband was always helpful. Today, she is often consulted by many for preparing new dishes.
Indeed, such experiences teach us many things. Today, the young lady has found out her own space. And somewhere down the line, she has changed totally. She is no more shy and she is articulate as well. Since I have not been to Baroda for a very long time, I have a standing invitation from this couple.
Well, I still have 168 days to go in London and Baroda can wait. In the meanwhile, every single day in London opens up some learning. The challenge of the unknown is always exciting.
