BELGAUM: It was just another day for this 15-year-old girl; Smita Deepak Jadav who is studying in tenth standard at Ushabai Gogte Girls School puts puncture for nearly 15 to 20 vehicles every day. On November 14, which was children's day, it was just another day for this girl.
Putting puncture is not easy job, as it needs strength and few techniques but for this 15-year-old girl, it is very simple.
She is helping her parents who are in this business for the past nearly 15 years. Before going to school and after coming from school, she never wastes time like her other girls instead she spends these valuable time by helping her father in his business.
"My father used to struggle a lot, from morning to night without any leisure he used to work, seeing all this, I decided to help my father and for the past nearly four to five years I am helping him. I take maximum of 10 to 15 minutes to put a puncture, to start with I had some difficulty but now, it has become habit and without any fuss I can easily fix wheels, it may be of two or four wheeler" added Smita who want to pursue her career in Mechanical Engineering. She is also equally good in studies. Even on Childrens Day, this girl was busy in fixing the wheels.
Many who pass through on Mahadwar road, where the puncture shop is located, feel proud about the girl. Any two-wheeler or even four-wheeler, she replaces the wheel within few minutes. Customers who for the first see the girl are very proud of her skills.
