He spends his free time during weekend on Saturday and Sunday for 2 to 4 hours and conducts training classes for engineering students. He earns anywhere between Rs 5,000 to Rs 8,000 per month. He says I am spending time on what I am interested and money has come on its way.

One college student comes to our neighbors’ house to teach dancing to their daughter and charges Rs 3,000 per month to teach for an hour.

It was all about that she had some old shoes at home and she started painting beautifully with art work. She was doing with her interest and she uploaded the pictures of it on Facebook.
