Interview a vegetable vendor (School project)

Here’s a school project where kids had to wear the hat of a journalist and interview a local entrepreneur. This child interviewed a local vegetable vendor.

Mahesh Kaka is the vegetable vendor from whom our family buys all their vegetables. He has his vegetable stall on the road outside our building, just a stone’s throw from our building.

He came to Mumbai from Satara (district in Maharashtra) in search of a job, but because he didn’t complete school, he couldn’t find a good job. Finally, he decided to sell vegetables to make ends meet, and today he earns decent a livelihood by selling vegetables.

Kaka sells a variety of fruits and vegetables, even though his selection of fruits is small; he says he is unable to afford more varieties as of now, and is worried that most of it may not sell.

Of late, Mahesh Kaka has been offering home-delivery as most buyers have been asking for that service; my mom also asks him to deliver vegetables at home, which saves her lot of time.

Mahesh Kaka wants to run a grocery shop someday, but doesn’t have enough money to do so. I wish him all the best and sincerely hope he is able to do that someday.
