India: 'Leather business is better than peculiar politics'

Kanpur: Skull-capped Abdul Ali is a mature man. His views always reflect what he feels genuinely on any particular or general topic. With increasing age and burgeoning responsibility, there came enough changes in his life. He has now become more spiritual and attends the gathering of the people deeply immersed in religious beliefs. Those who have seen him from the youthful days do startle by his changed attitude.

Never shy of discussing matters related to daily life, he told how has the youth turned towards the pious life. There was seen a big change among them. They were now giving time for prayers five time a day. Older notions were by and by breaking with time.

He pointed out, "For me, everyone is worthy of respect for I have changed drastically. It is my goodness that I want to bring a smile on other's face through my conversation."

It can't be denied that he has a sharp mind. He understands people's mind accurately. If he reacts on anyone's personality it is never wrong. He lends his swift support if he can possibly do. On one morning one of his acquaintances demanded another helmet he procured it for him. Undoubtedly he exists for others' help as his neighbours insist so often.

Although his social life is not limited yet he shows no interest in entering politics. Once he was suggested of contesting the Corporation level elections, his balanced reply was an emphatic no. This was not my field. He made it clear that he was quite happy and satisfied in his leather business.
