My Life and Choice

Compulsion:(Majburi):the act of compelling or the state of being compelled.

He has a talent of sewing and making carpets. Dream of making house can be complete when he sews and make carpet for 12 hours per day. The place he works was not just a room of 4 walls but it is compulsion for him. At the mill he was not just being compell by his owner but also by his handicapped mother who stays on the road. He had never known to complete his dream he had pain his back and hands by cutting threads for hours. For him it was not difficult to work in a carpet mill but it was difficult for him to say "NO" to his education. He wanted to be educated but compulsion had brought him back to his mill and his dreams was lost. Being compelled was the reason to work but there was no solution for him to get rid of this.
Having this interview with a 14 year old boy brings out lot of questions about his compulsion but we knew that we had opened the door for him to talk about his Life and Choice.
