Various struggle stories go viral on the internet every day. Recently, one such similar incident has garnered attention from Uttar Dinajpur district in West Bengal. According to reports, a woman named Poornima Burman went through a very dark phase in her life. Her husband’s arm was broken in an accident. Since then, the 40-year-old has had to take on all the responsibilities of the children and the family, including her husband. She has started selling potato chop and ghugni (a dish made from chickpeas) on the street. She goes out with a van rickshaw to sell it in various areas of Kaliyaganj town in Uttar Dinajpur district.
A recent report suggests that Poornima earns Rs 700 to 800 almost every day by selling various types of fried food besides potato chops and ghugni. Overall, she earns Rs 25,000 per month. By selling these fried items, she takes care of his children’s education, home, and all the responsibilities of the family.
Poornima sells various types of snacks and chops by standing on one side of the road. She sells onion chops for Rs 1, potato chops for Rs 2, and ghugni for Rs 5.
Apart from this, Poornima sometimes also sells puri or paratha in the morning. She starts her shop at ten in the morning. After taking care of all the household chores, she opens her shop. In a recent media interaction, Poornima shared that this business has become an addiction for her. She didn’t study much, but currently she is earning thousands of rupees by selling chops and ghugni.
Earlier, a similar incident went viral. Numerous individuals, despite achieving education and securing positions in multinational corporations, often fall short of matching the monthly earnings of an Indore-based snack vendor. According to reports, a street-side pohawala is reaping a monthly profit of Rs 75,000 from a single cart.
A viral video on social media features a vendor disclosing that he reaps a daily profit of Rs 2,500 from a single cart. When extrapolated, this amounts to a monthly profit of approximately Rs 75,000 per cart. Astonishingly, he operates six such carts, emphasising that with certain adjustments, he consistently generates this level of profit from nearly every cart.
The pohawala further claimed that, operating a total of six carts, he accumulates profits amounting to an impressive Rs 4.5 lakh monthly. It translates to an annual profit of approximately Rs 54 lakh.
