पहले बिक्री नहीं होती थी… बिक्री नहीं होती थी तो कमाई भी नहीं होती थी। जो खाना बच जाता था, उसे घर ले जाते थे, वही खाना खाते थे। कभी-कभी ऐसा भी हुआ कि राशन नहीं होता था तो भूखे रहना पड़ता था। बच्चे अपनी कमाई में से कुछ नहीं देते। एक बेटे का काम छूट गया है और जो दूसरा बेटा काम करता है, वो कुछ नहीं देता। बेटी की शादी हो गई है लेकिन वो हमारे साथ ही रहती है। एक नातिन है, 12 साल की… उसे पढ़ाते भी हैं। आज सुबह से बहुत सारे लोग आए हैं, तो खुशी हो रही है, खाना भी सब खत्म हो गया।”
