It is unfortunate that these days kids do not want to continue the unique arts and crafts traditions that we inherited from previous generations, and if we do not promote these beautiful arts, they will soon die out. That's why wherever I go, I try and tell people to appreciate and acknowledge them. I come from a small village in the Barmer district of Rajasthan, and since there weren't any colleges there I had to move to Jaipur where I studied commerce and law. While in college I met Anil and we became good friends. After college he focused on preparing for the competitive civil service exams and I went into the family business. My father and uncle traded spare parts of diesel engines. Occasionally I would meet Anil and he would always tell me his desire to do something of his own. My father introduced me to Babulal Dosi, because he wanted me to do something different which would help me earn a respectable income. Since Babulal was already exporting arts and crafts, he told my father to open a shop for me and that I could take the products from his workshop. This was the best thing that has happened to me and I will remain forever grateful to him. We did exceedingly well and eventually I partnered with Anil
