Tea seller says "My name is Lakshman Rao Natthu Ji Shrivahte. I belong from Amravati district of Maharashtra. I was born on 22nd July 1952 in Tadegaon village, Amravati. I have completed my education till class 8th at Tadegaon in Amravati. When I was in school I used to read books written by Gulshan Nanda. I got inspired by Gulshan Nanda and decided to be a writer like him in the future. But I was not aware that this job is very difficult. I came to Amravati where I have qualified class 10. I worked over there for 5 years before the mill shut down in 1975. Then I came back to my village and started farming. I took 40 Rs from my father and moved to Bhopal. I worked as a labourer for 3 months in Bhopal. I saved Rs 90 and moved to Delhi from Bhopal. I took shelter in Birla temple's dharmasha
