A techie from the city who lost her job due to the Covid-19 situation and lockdown is selling vegetables at Srinagar colony. And 26-year-old Undadi Shardai isproud that she has been able to survive a tough situation, without sticking to "false prestige".
"There is nothing to be ashamed of. It was a question of survival. I did not even have to think for a moment about how we would see ourselves through in a crisis," said Undadi Sharada. Sharada gets up at 4am, goes to the market to wholesale mark to buy vegetables and sells them practically spending 12 hours on the pavement.
Sharada had joined an MNC in Hyderabad but three months into the job, the Covid-19 crisis started. "They said they would not even be able to pay me half the salary. Since they also had no projects to accommodate me in, I had to leave," she said. "I have been able to pay our house rent, meet all our family needs and we are able to live an honourable life with our hard work," she said.TOI
