However, his family was not well off, and they struggled to make ends meet. Somu's father worked as a laborer, while his mother took care of their small farm.Somu was determined to help his family out, so he started looking for ways to make some money on his own. He tried selling vegetables from their farm, but the competition was fierce, and he didn't make much of a profit. He also tried his hand at tutoring younger children in his village, but the pay was meager, and it was not a sustainable source of income. Somu started feeling discouraged and defeated. He wanted to help his family, but he didn't know how. He started taking odd jobs wherever he could find them, working as a laborer on construction sites and helping out at local shops. But the work was exhausting, and the pay was low. One day, while walking home from a job, Somu noticed a group of tourists taking pictures of the scenery around his village. He had an idea. He took out his phone and started taking pictures of the same scenery, from a different angle. He then approached the tourists and showed them his pictures, telling them that he could take better pictures of the area if they were interested.The tourists were impressed with Somu's photography skills, and they asked him to take some pictures for them. Somu agreed, and he spent the next few hours taking pictures of the beautiful scenery around his village. When he was done, the tourists were delighted with his work, and they paid him generously for his efforts.Somu was thrilled. He realized that he had a talent for photography, and he started taking more pictures and promoting his services to other tourists who visited the area. Word of mouth soon spread, and Somu became known as the go-to photographer for anyone visiting his village. Somu's photography business took off, and he was finally able to make a decent income for himself and his family. He continued to take pictures, honing his craft and expanding his business. Somu never forgot the struggle he went through to make money, and he was grateful for the opportunity that his talent had given him.Life may make us a lot of twist in our jouney, we should not get frustuated or disappointed.

He even started to get requests from people outside of the tourism industry, such as couples looking for professional photoshoots and local businesses in need of marketing materials.

With the success of his photography business, Somu was finally able to contribute significantly to his family's finances. He helped pay for his younger sister's education and was able to assist his parents in improving their farming business.
