The week or so has been good in the company. I've suddenly started to become a little bit organized right from waking up, to the workouts. I've also been exposed to a new world. A world which involves a lot of nuances than I imagined it would be. There are a lot of changes taking place. Only thing is that I don't know whether these changes are enough to bring about something new.Yesterday, it was the AIDS day and our company had something to do with it. These people are really smart. They basically create awareness among truck drivers about the disease and help them so that they live for a long time and buy their product. There is no rocket science to it, but it is a very smart way of catching up with the customers. This act automatically makes them the number one in the truck tyres business. Simple. Start marketing from were you're manufacturing so that there is much of sales taking place. A place full of trucks. Pure business.
Well this is the business part that they're doing. But there is another face to it. They've got tie up with certain NGOs which makes them even more popular. There were two people from such an NGO and both of them were affected by HIV. They were given sometime to address the gathering. There was this lady of say 35 years of age.
She was affected by HIV and she came to tell her life, after acquiring the disease. She started to speak by telling that she got the disease through her husband who had it, actually. It has really been a pathetic life for her, after she contracted the disease. She says that the shop in which she was working had a boss who wouldn't permit her to have leave, which she required for getting her Anti retroviral treatment., in Ahmedabad. One day when she was coming back to the shop after having treatment, the shop owner stopped her in the middle of the road and told her to get away from the shop. Adding insult to injury, her husband died and you need not even imagine about the in-laws. She was sent out of their house. Even when she returned to her own house, she says that her mom used to keep her clothes separately. Mentally and physically she has been tortured daily. If this was not enough, her child also got it from her. At that time with no body to help a lady, with such a grit, was given a job in an NGO , was helping people who were from such a disease. It is deadly and it makes people's dreams crash just like that. But even at this stage she has only two things in her mind. One is that she should not transmit the virus to somebody else and second she doesn't want people like her suffer like what she had undergone. This is called generosity. I was close to getting tears after listening to her live. I don't know about the others but there was some truth in her which made me move emotionally. It shows how fortunate we're and nothing else.
