A Day in life of women coconut vendor

     We met a woman who was selling tender coconuts. When we said that we want to interview her, she said ok but at the same time she feared that it might cause trouble to her. It took me some time to convince her that this will not create any problems for her. Finally she told us that her name is vasantha. She has a son and her husband is not with her. I ask you my readers how is it possible to leave behind a son and wife and run away for another woman. Now her aim is to give good education to her son. She has been in the coconut selling business for the past three months. Before that she worked only as a maid in some houses. But that money was not enough to give good education for her son. So, she started to sell tender coconuts additionally.

     Talking about her day to day life, she wakes up early in morning and prepares food for her son and then she goes to work as a maid in some houses. From afternoon to evening she sells coconuts. She is earning only Rs.8000 per month and is able to managing her family in a proper way.  She is dedicating her life for her son.

     It takes a lot of courage to live without a husband, taking care of her kid and doing business. She could have run away from all of this but instead she chose to stay and take care of her son and try to rise him with good education so that some day he can take care of himself and be able to stand tall in society.

    I hope my readers can see the care, the courage and the moral tenacity of the woman who sells coconut to us. She is an inspiration for us all to stand tall even in the face of despair, to have a goal even when all seems lost.
