I have been in the hotel field for the last 25 years. I work as a room attendant and honestly, I don’t regret my decision.
Back then, Nampally and Abids used to be bustling with tourists from all over the country. I have had the opportunity to serve some of the noted business people across united Andhrapradesh and Karnataka. Well, those were certainly memorable days in my life. Even though I used to earn a meagre salary, I always cherished those days.
However, ever since the digital boom began, this place had lost its charm and slowly, we had to face the reality. The Covid 19 pandemic has impacted the hotel industry the most, however, our owner is kind enough to provide us with employment despite the dip in the industry.
The one thing I am proud of in life is my children’s success. I have managed to educate both my daughters and now they are happily settled with their families. I visit my hometown once every three months and my family members often insist me to stop working and take rest. But for me, work is everything and I will continue as long as my body supports.”
