Guy Works As A Google Software Engineer In Seattle, Dad Continues To Work As A Labourer By Choice :- It takes a different kind of personality to not get carried away by one's kid's success and continue with what one is good at.
Tejaram Sankhla from Sojat in Rajasthan could ideally sit and enjoy his son's fat paycheck. His son, Ram Chandra, is a software engineer with Google in Seattle, so you can imagine how much he must be drawing in a month!
However, Tejaram chose to continue working as a truck loader, which gets him anywhere between Rs. 100 and Rs. 400 a day. Ram Chandra wants his father to take it easy, but Tejaram doesn't listen.
Ram Chandra's rags to riches story is inspiring. Coming from a Hindi medium school, Ram learnt English following English movie subtitles. After he scored 70% in Class 12, his father had to take a loan to put Ram in IIT-JEE coaching classes in Kota. By the time Ram reached Google in Seattle, his father owed people some Rs. 3.5 lakhs.
After starting work at Google, Ram Chandra paid off the loans, renovated his home and bought farmland in his hometown. But while he can do everything, he can't seem to stop his father from working!
When a family believes in hard work, one can't sit idle. The Sankhla family is a perfect example of that.
