We have heard many extraordinary stories of real people who despite being born with no privileges manage to pull their lives together. This might be just the case of good luck like the tea seller from Pakistan who was discovered by a photographer and now owns a cafe, or sheer hard work like this tea vendor who worked several jobs and got himself a job as a professor. © iStock Rafiq Ibrahim, a tea seller who hails from a small village in Kerala’s Echome village, was a bright student but describes his early years spent in poverty in a village, “Though I had a first-class, my first thought was to try some manual jobs in the area. Once out of school, boys would work in a jeep as a driver or a cleaner, and girls would be married off. That was how it was in Echome,” he said. He and his sister clearly had other plans and were not going to be satisfied with just that. © Rafiq Ibrahim “I could see me wandering the streets filled with sandalwood agarbatti factories and lathe machines, screaming aloud ‘Tea Bekka’ (do you want tea) and pleading with customers to pay money.” He had to give up his education at the age of 19. However, he kept on learning and reading in his free time while working minor jobs. © iStock He worked hard and worked several jobs to survive and support his family financially. He said, “As the condition at home remained the same, I went to Wandoor in Malappuram district where I got a job in a hotel at the bus stand,” he said. However it got shut soon after and he had to take up another job. © iStock He cleaned vehicles and worked as a footwear salesman for two years before his sister finally got a job and his family’s financial conditions started getting more stable. It was then that he decided to complete his education. © iStock He took up BA Economics course at Calicut University and applied for the MA Malayalam course at the Sree Sankara Sanskrit University in Kalady. He then went on to get his MPhil degree and his PhD. He secured a job as the assistant professor in Malayalam department at Kannur University and now teaches at the Nileshwar campus. © Rafiq Ibrahim We often make excuses of not having enough time to read or workout or do anything else while working a desk job while here is an extraordinary man whose quest for knowledge earned him degrees and laurels and took him from dingy streets to a college campus where he now teaches.

Ever looked out of the window of your classroom or a workplace just to daydream about one day being a man of your own destiny, of being a free-bird who doesn't need a pass or ticket to travel to places with beautiful beaches or snow-capped mountains. © iStock Well, if you need any counselling on how to go forward with it, you can talk to this particular gentleman who cycled all the way from Kerala to Kashmir, just by selling tea along the way. Nidhin Maliyekkal, a 23-year-old, hailing from god's own country, Kerala, began his cycling journey from Thrissur district in Kerala on January 1, 2021 with only a mere Rs 170 in his pocket. © The Hindu But the lack of funds did not stop him from having a surreal travel experience to Kashmir and back, with the youngster covering a staggering 5,647km till his return to Kerala on April 30. However, Nidhin, while speaking to The Hindu, he said the trip wasn't an impromptu one but only a small result of him being a travel junkie. The youngster became fond of travelling after he joined an Automobile Engineering course in Ernakulam district, which required him to travel on a daily basis. “I commuted by train to college every day. The trips, usually two hours long, became so enjoyable that after three months I stopped going to college and travelled to other places. Nobody knew it since I would return home by evening. But once the college authorities came to know about it, my adventure and my studies came to an end.” he told The Print. Nidhin, who has gone hitch-hiking across South India amongst many of his trips, spoke on how his trip to Kashmir was actually an end result of things not going his way. “So I started doing odd jobs. I was working as a tea/juice maker but when India went into lockdown, I had no job. When I was about to take up another job after 10 months of unemployment, it was given to someone else. That was when I decided on this trip,” he said. At the time when he started the journey, Nidhin said he took his younger brother's old cycle and just a few other things. He said, "He was not using it since he felt it had gone out of fashion! I thought I should manage with what I have. I sold my camera — my only saving — to repair the cycle and buy the things needed for the trip. I decided to sell tea during the trip to meet the expenses.” “(I had) a tent, a kerosene pump stove, flask, tea dust, sugar, saucepan, glasses, four T-shirts and two shorts. Everyone called me crazy. My parents didn’t know that I had just Rs 170 with me!” said Nidhin. But word had already begun spreading around Nidhin's journey to Kashmir on Facebook, and he found help from unknown sources, with people giving him a helmet, a water bottle, among other things. © The Hindu Nidhin also says that he was also unsure of the route which he had taken for his trip, however, despite having a language problem, many other cyclists helped him along the way. “All I knew to say in English was, ‘I am from Kerala, going to Kashmir’,” said Nidhin. Cycling only during the day, he would spend the journey selling tea at Rs 10 per cup, while mostly sleeping at petrol pumps or at accommodation arranged by his well-wishers. © The Hindu By the time he had reached Kashmir, he had cycled across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Himachal Pradesh, a thing which surely gives most people a lot of travel goals. Of course, it is not easy, but good things never really do come easy, do they? View the full article

The past couple of years have brought along a revolution within the players of the Indian cricket team and their candidness towards struggling with mental health issues. On Sunday, India’s legendary Sachin Tendulkar opened up about his mental health struggles and how he suffered from severe anxiety for over a decade while playing as an international cricketer and representing his nation at some of the biggest stages. View this post on Instagram “Over period of time I realised that besides preparing physically for a game, you have to prepare yourself mentally also. In my mind, the match started long before I entered the ground. The anxiety levels were very high,” Tendulkar said in an interaction organised by Unacademy. “I felt the anxiety for 10-12 years, had many sleepless nights before a game. Later on, I started accepting that it was part of my preparation. Then I made peace with times I was not able to sleep in the night. I would start doing something to keep my mind comfortable.” That “something” included shadow batting, watching TV and playing video games in the wee hours of the day. Even making his morning cup of tea helped him prepare for the game. View this post on Instagram Sachin also spoke about how making cups of tea, and ironing clothes also helped him get over the feeling of uncertainty and get ready for the match. "I would pack my bag the day before the game, my brother taught me all of it and it became a habit. I followed the same drill even in the last match I played for India,” said the 48-year-old, who retired after playing his 200th Test match in 2013. View this post on Instagram “When there is an injury, physios and doctors examine you and diagnose what is wrong with you. The same is the case with mental health. It is normal for anyone to go through ups and downs and when you hit those lows you need people around. “Acceptability is the key here. Not just for the player, for people around him also. Once you have accepted you start looking for solutions,” he added. View the full article

If you’re a ‘chai lover’ then you know that our country is obsessed with tea and chai break is a legit thing. Also, there are many tea sellers and every nukkad has a new ‘tea seller’ who is famous for selling something unique in it. © Unsplash However, a tea seller in Kolkata has left everyone behind and taken things to next level as he is selling it for Rs 1000. Tea Stall owner in Kolkata’s Mukundapur sells various varieties of tea starting from Rs 12 to Rs 1000 per cup. The shop is owned by Partha Pratim Ganguly where he has around 100 varieties of tea. © Unsplash According to a report by TOI, “The highest costing tea that is priced at Rs 1,000 is the Bo-Lei tea that costs Rs 3 lakh per kilogram. Bo-Lei, also known as Pu-Erh tea or Puer, Po Lei, Bolay tea, and Dark Tea is a tea made in China. The Bo-Lei tea is made from Camellia Sinensis tea which is the same plant that is used to make green and black tea. Bo-Lei, however, is fermented and oxidized which gives the tea a unique deep, earthy flavor. Because of the fermentation of Bolay, it even gives the tea an incredible shelf life and allows the tea to age well. Besides Bolay other varieties of tea that are sold at the shop include Blue Tisane Tea, Teesta Valley Tea, Silver Needle White Tea, Lavender Tea, Hibiscus Tea, Wine Tea, Tulsi Ginger Tea, Makaibari Tea, Rooibos Tea, and Okayti Tea." © Unsplash This tea seller’s story is extremely inspirational and persuades us to follow our dream.
