work. My mother began to sell food to make my ends meet," says Suresh, who is

firm. A few months he moved joined a relative's firm as a salesman. Thenmozhi,
his mother, would cook food for college students to supplement Subburaj's
income. Suresh's brother, Sathish Kumar is pursuing graduation in a Coimbatore
