    Belgaum is a very nostalgic place specially if you lived in the Cantonment areas. Friends would envy us coz we were living amongst a lot of trees and natural beauty which they couldn’t enjoy due to the proximity of commercial surroundings that they were living close to. I had a very memorable childhood.

      I cant believe he is selling his products since 41 years!!!! I know him very well. Since my childhood I have been purchasing bubble bottles from him, a regular customer you can say!! . Never till today I have purchased from any other person. He is always there wherever I go, may it be fun fair, food festival, etc etc. I refer my friends and family as well to go to him. I am really happy that people recognized his efforts and hard work. God bless him.
