Rajat Bhatri/Gorakhpur: It is said that if courage is high then people fight even with their destiny. And they find their way to progress. This saying fits Manoj Kumar of Gorakhpur. Let us tell you that Manoj sells Italian and Medu Vada outside Digvijay Nath College, Gorakhpur. Manoj used to work as a driver a year ago. One day, Malik fired him from work for arriving 5 minutes late. Then what did Manoj do? He came home and talked to his wife. Then after a few days, after setting up the setup on his two-wheeler, he started feeding itli and medu vada to the people. The other part of Manoj’s story is his wife. Who engaged him in this work after leaving his job.
When the team of Local 18 reached Manoj Kumar, who was serving Italian and Medu Vada to the students by setting up a setup on his car outside Digvijay Nath College in Gorakhpur, Manoj told that his earlier job was that of a driver, he was released from his job after reaching 5 minutes late. Went. There was no option in front. When I reached home, my wife supported me and with her support I started the work of Medu Vada and Italy. Manoj says that whatever happened happened for the good, earlier he used to earn Rs 15 thousand in the job of a driver. Now I sell about Rs 3,000 worth of my Medu Bada and Italy every day. At present his family is surviving on this work. He is happy in it. Before starting this setup, Manoj should also face financial crunch. Took Rs 10,000 from the Municipal Corporation and have applied for some more loans.
Know how to prepare Medu Vada and Itali
Manoj, who sells Medu Vada and Itali, says that he has been setting up his shop for the last one year. He has installed small machines in the house to make medu bada, itali and chutney. Manoj says that this dish is healthy to eat and students like it a lot. While Medu Vada is prepared with urad dal, itali dal is prepared with rice, along with it coconut chutney and their raita are very wonderful. The price of one Mendu Vada is Rs 20, whereas in Italy it is Rs 15 and about 150 to 200 plates are sold every day. Manoj prepares this Italian and Medu Vada in a pure vegetarian way. Even garlic and onion are not used in this.
