Yesterday i went to a village 20 kms from Salem to meet my school friend. While at school he was living in utter poverty, yesterday i was so happy to see him living in a spacious 🏠 , an SUV car parked in his portico two pickup trucks and luxury written all over his 🏠
After all the hugs, pleasantries, reliving our old memories , i asked him how did he become wealthy. He Said
" In Our village we grow this " Arali flower" the price for this flower was very low in Salem flower market , i decided to sell it in Bangalore market , got good price
We get Rs 20/kg in Salem , but in Bangalore we get Rs 60 to 80/ kg. It was very profitable. In less than 3 hours we are able to travel 210 kms to Bangalore KR market.We are able to deliver fresh flowers to Bangalore every day
Hundreds of villagers have been lifted out of pocerty
Before the 4 way roads put up by BJP Govt it took us 7 to 8 hours to reach Bangalore, our flowers will get wilted so it was not viable ,thanks to BJP Govt i brought the pickup truck using MUDRA loan in my name & another in my wives name. Now we are sending one to B'lore & Chennai
This is a classic example of how a 4 way National Highway can change the fortunes of thousands of people
During UPA 4 Laning was happening @ 6 kms / day, under Modi Sarkar its 30 / km per day
You can go to Panamarathupatti , kammalapatti , kuralnatham, thippampatti etc & verify
Remember all roads leading to and from Salem are 4 lane tracks
Salem to Bangalore
Salem to Chennai
Salem to Madurai
Salem to Coimbatore
Let that sink in

During the gold rush, a man who had been mining in Colorado for several months quit his job, as he hadn’t struck gold yet and the work was becoming tiresome. He sold his equipment to another man who resumed mining where it had been left off.
The new miner was advised by his engineer that there was gold only three feet away from where the first miner stopped digging.
The engineer was right, which means the first miner was a mere three feet away from striking gold before he quit.
When things start to get hard, try to persevere through the adversity. Many people give up on following their dreams because the work becomes too difficult, tedious, or tiresome–but often, you’re closer to the finish line than you may think, and if you push just a little harder
“An old man lived in the village. The whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in a bad mood. The longer he lived, the viler he became and more poisonous were his words.
People did their best to avoid him because his misfortune was contagious. He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.
But one day, when he turned eighty, an incredible thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumor:
The old man is happy today, he doesn’t complain about anything, smiles, and even his face is freshened up.’
The whole village gathered around the man and asked him, “What happened to you?”

There once was a very wealthy and curious king. This king had a huge boulder placed in the middle of a road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would try to remove the gigantic rock from the road.
The first people to pass by were some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers. Rather than moving it, they simply walked around it. A few loudly blamed the King for not maintaining the roads. Not one of them tried to move the boulder.
Finally a peasant came along. His arms were full of vegetables. When he got near the boulder, rather than simply walking around it as the others had, the peasant put down his load & tried to move the stone to the side of the road. It took a lot of effort but he finally succeeded
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
“How much is an ice cream sundae?”
“50 cents,” replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.
“How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he inquired. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.
“35 cents,” she said brusquely.
The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and departed.
