I came to the city from my village, because I had a love marriage and my parents didn’t accept it. My wife is from a poor family and I didn’t want to leave her. So we came here.

I have been working here for two and half years. I used to work as a supervisor earlier. Now I am security guard from 6 am to 2 pm. After work, I go home to play with my baby. Now that we have a baby, my parents don’t have an issue. Everyone is happy now.

People here are very nice and they help each other, even when it comes to money. They also trust people from villages.

*e-citizen is a series that portrays different facets of people working in Electronics City.
