Global lives project, Muttu Kumar

       Firstly this is a reblog ! But, worth reading. This is a story about Muttu Kumar – a boy from Hampi, India. A village boy whose parents were separated at early age and he had to earn his living. He is a boy who hardly went to school yet knows Kannad, Hindi, French, German, Italian and English as well.

He is usual but unusual. He studied for 6 years in school. Later on left school and started selling postcards as he lived in a very well known tourist place called Hampi where the famous Virupaksha Temple is located. Due to stick communication he managed to learn English and earn his living. His aim is to buy an autorickshaw, a vehicle that he wants to use to transport his tourist members from one place to another and expand his business.

       Some of you may think that buying an autorickshaw and that being his dream is kind of funny but remember what u did at the age of 18? What were u planning at that age? Of course! Cultural differences play a great role! No doubt!

       Moreover, while telling about his life he mentions about his sister who got married and left their home to live at her husband’s place, according to the Indian tradition. You can find out more about him on Global lives Project site. There is a video where he tells about his life journey.The link is posted below! Have a look!
