The matter is very old, but when prompts of this type are being received in which old memories are refreshed, then it has become necessary to mention this also. Then I used to study in college, my father was a supporter of a little old ideology.
He did not believe in giving pocket money to the children, so I never got any money from home to spend. But some of my fellow students of the college where I studied were very rich and they used to spend a lot of money sitting in the college canteen every day to pretend to be rich, and it was natural for students like us to have an inferiority complex. , But instead of feeling inferior, I got an impression from the fact that if my father does not give me money, I can earn my own money.
And after taking this decision, I tried to find out how to earn some money by spending time at work, which can be used as pocket money.
Then one day a best friend of mine invited me to his house and when I reached his house, I came to know that his father has a business of packed spices, and he sells these spices directly at home through his representatives.

Hearing this, an idea immediately came to my mind that I too can earn pocket money for myself by doing this work. Then I thought about other possibilities that doing this work would not harm my studies, then I thought that the more time I give to this work, the more I will wake up extra at night and complete my studies.
Then the next day I asked my friend's father to make me his representative and he accepted my request. Then I took samples of small packets of spices from them. Taking these samples and keeping them in a shoulder bag, I went out to sell to the families of my father's friends first after college.
But my first experience was little bad, the first house I went to was also that of my father's friend, but his wife seeing me selling spices said with great surprise and she asked me what is the need for you to do this work, Your father is a big government official. I told her that my father is a government official but I am nothing now, so I want to earn pocket money for myself.
After that, after convincing her, she ordered to buy some spices. And like this every day I started working for 1-2 hours after college time and I started getting result in few days and I got my earned money.
In the meanwhile, my mother told to my father that I am selling spices in this way, but my father did not oppose me, but also he praised me and said that it is a good thing that you are becoming self-reliant but taking care of my future, paying full attention to your studies.
And in this way, I started earning money from my college time, even though it did not become my main job, I gained many new life experiences by doing that work and earned a lot of pocket money for myself. And doing this work I never feel ashamed of myself, because this was my thinking that no work is small in life.
