Either tell others to sit there or distribute the pamphlets myself. After that, I would go to the park and roads around 6 AM where people would come for a walk, I used to distribute flyers there. Many of the pamphlets were immediately discarded. Some people didn’t even look at them, they would just take them and throw them away.”

“At around 8-9 AM, I would return home. Later, I worked at a local restaurant in the Himayatnagar area, where I worked as both a cashier and a waiter, we used to switch roles according to shift timings. Sometimes I worked as a cashier one day and the next day, I would become a waiter,” he added.
