From Slum to Home: Aman Sharma's Inspirational Journey

[00:02] hope you are fine, so Ustad, special special special, today is the special special special, today is the most special day of my life because today I am coming back from the deepest part of my life, that is, when I used to live in a slum for 8-10 years without

[00:18] water and electricity and that is, where people did not like to stand, I and my family spent 10-11 years there. Dostad ji, I am telling you this because it is an inspirational story. Ah, a middle class family would still be fine but ours was a very

[00:33] lower class family. Bringing a lower class family from a slum to such a big house is a big thing in our field and in your field also. Many people believe that slum dwellers either do something wrong or become pickpockets or thieves.

[00:46] But there are some like me who do a lot. Today I am going to show you that place also and that place is no more. This is no longer there because those killers burnt our slum, whatever it was. But that place is still there.

[01:03] I am going to show you everything. I will add some emotions and some actions to it so that we can know how we go through that situation. And the main thing is that many people had this illusion that slum dwellers cannot do anything. This video is going to show a lot to those people.

[01:17] So today I, my brother, my family, my friends are going to go to that place and we are going to show you everything about how we spent our days. Come let's go. Come let's go. So Ustad ji, you have

[01:43] my mother and my brother have worked harder than me. It is because of his grace and my brother have worked harder than me. It is because of his grace and my brother's support that I am here today. And there's my dad. Papa doesn't live here. He is in the village. They apply a little bit so that's why.

[01:55] Now we are going to show you. First of all, I ask my mother how she feels going home from the slum. in the room. Shout out loud. Because

[02:10] my mother has worked so hard. Brother, you tell me. Brother, it feels great that after working hard you have reached this position. Everyone has worked very hard together and the biggest contribution is of our mother who has worked hard and brought us to this level.

[02:25] And now I will show you the conditions, first of all brother, show me the slum there. The surrounding slums remained the same. Those are the slums nearby. Now let me Look, we had a way to go from here.

[02:44] people did not like to stand there. I and my family spent 10-11 years there. Many people do not even like to stand here. We have spent our lives there. So we used to go from here and our slum was inside. Let me show you a

[02:59] and our slum was inside. Let me show you a little bit. Come on. Come mother, come. Come on. little bit. Come on. Come mother, come. Come on. where we used to live but gradually everything got destroyed here

[03:15] because someone set fire to them or somehow burnt our huts, burnt our huts, this drain in front is the dirtiest drain of Delhi, when it used to rain then all the people used to say come out, the rain is coming, children will drown,

[03:30] children will get swept away, I used to sit inside my hut taking my Baba's name on the throne. Because someday Baba will listen that I will get the fruits of my hard work. That is why

[03:46] see this drain, when it used to rain, this drain would fill up a lot, the water would come up to here, so many times our utensils, beds, cots, etc. would get washed away, so the people in the neighborhood would tell us to come out, come out, come out, but it happens that we were

[04:01] so the people in the neighborhood would tell us to come out, come out, come out, but it happens that we were we would hide in our slum, that night we did not know whether we would see our next day or not because that flow, that rain, that storm was

[04:18] such, may God not show that thing to anyone, so come, I will show you the condition of our slum from inside, what was it like or not, come, come, this is the path, this path, it was a little wider, it is cut now because of the water,

[04:33] wider, it is cut now because of the water, this is where we were small, we used to play this is where we were small, we used to play here, and when we grew up a little, there were children here, once the children fell here, so we know that this is such a

[04:47] deep drain without water, so children were drowning. We became Superman and by doing this we threw him out, he became famous in the entire locality, so you see, this place has become much worse than before, the place was quite wide here and earlier it was really

[05:03] nice to live here, we used to plant Suha Soa here by applying manure, so guys, this place was our slum, these plants that you see here, we used to

[05:15] live here. We had our slum here. I am showing some videos on the screen, showing some videos on the screen, you will understand after watching them. We had

[05:36] our tap. Come on, zoom in and show me. The water from this tap was not at all drinkable. We only used it for washing clothes. uprooted that tap and sold it. Our slum was here and our

[05:53] tap was here which you have already seen. Here we had our throne, bed, whatever it is. We used to sleep here at night and our stove. The stove was a little further but there is some garbage there. Ca n't go there right now. And they say, the washroom with expensive talks, the one which does not have a roof, that

[06:08] washroom was behind us, there was garbage lying there, garbage lying there, yes it was there even now, we would have shown it to you, but what happens is that if I tell the truth, I would be upset, why would the people who burn that slum, they burnt that slum

[06:23] because there is a reason for that too, you must be thinking that who would be upset with a slum dweller, there is a reason for that too, that even you must be thinking that who would be upset with a slum dweller, there is a reason for that too, that even

[06:35] always treated her children like kings and kept them within limits. In the sense that my mother kept me within limits and my elder brother kept me within limits. I am telling the truth, maybe they don't know it. If my elder brother had not paid attention to me,

[06:49] I would have been drunk today. The whole A to Z would be completely drunk. The topic comes to why there were clusters in the neighbourhood ? Why? Because even after living here, we used to study and go to our homes on time, neither were we infamous in the locality nor were we allowed to go to

[07:04] class with our neighbours because they had houses and everything but their children used to roam around here and there, there were some stray girls, one or two stray girls, they used to do all these things, because of this people used to tease us that why are these people wearing such good clothes, why are they covering themselves with such good clothes, why are they

[07:20] even after living in the slum, it means they forced us a lot to leave from here, they did not even let us stay here. I was forced to do so. Sometimes people were sent behind. Sometimes there would be

[07:33] fights, quarrels, all these things, sometimes I made Papa drink too much. Got the fight started. Brother, many times it used to happen that it is the month of December now and it is cold season, so there used to be some people here in the park who used to consume drugs etc., so what they used to do was that we used to

[07:50] put wood etc. on top of our hut so that it does not get blown away by the wind, but people used to uproot them and take them away, and after uprooting them they used to warm themselves with it. We used to make it with so much hard work and people would uproot it at night and burn it. But I had

[08:06] faith in God that everything would be fine and today, by Baba's grace, everything is fine. And here is this place. I cannot tell you right now about the conditions that have happened to us here because it is n't show it here. But they

[08:20] go to the slums in the neighbourhood. How did we spend our days there, there is a cot etc. What kind of days did we spend, we were dripping with water. So let us show you what we used to do there today. Come let's go. Let us go. Ustad ji, we have come here from there

[08:34] because the view of the slum is not visible there. Now we will show you the complete condition. Let me tell you, these slums are the ones where I used to come to play whenever I was not feeling like staying there. Look at this place, show it. Show me there. They are

[08:48] those kids. Look, my mother started talking as soon as she came. Have come from here. Where our father had his stall. That means father used to do his work there. Used to drive a rickshaw from there. And let's call it first. This is elder brother Naresh Bhai. Jai Baba.

[09:02] Jai Baba ki brother. Our childhood was spent in front of them. So will you tell us something about us, where did you live? Used to live right in front. In the slum. Used to live in a slum. So how does it feel to have

[09:15] I am feeling very good. At least my brother has brought glory to his father by rising from the slum. Yes, and he also earned our respect. This is the matter and who has the biggest hand in it?

[09:30] Whose hard work is this? Your mother has the most influence. in making likes. See, you understand the meaning of making the most liked video, right? My mother has the biggest role in doing all these things. Let me

[09:43] tell you one thing before all this. Living here, living in such a place, our festivals were celebrated a day after the festival day. Like when Diwali came, my mother used to go to work on Diwali,

[09:59] so we had nothing on Diwali day. So, mother used to bring sweets from there, so sweets were available only on Diwali day and her children used to and her children used to burst crackers etc.

[10:20] next day we used to celebrate that festival by bursting crackers and eating sweets, you understand, and when Holi used to happen, on the day of Holi, where mother used to go to work to wash utensils, there the colours etc. were played, the water guns etc. were played, the

[10:36] next day we used to celebrate the festival with them and all praise to those people who live in mansions and have and all praise to those people who live in mansions and have big houses. Where mom, mom, mom and many women go to work. So thanks to those who

[10:54] we used to eat good things. So if half of those people are watching this video then there must be a maid in your house. Definitely because their children are waiting with the hope that their mother will bring something good

[11:10] to eat. Let me show you the rest of the conditions. Come on. He my brother has reached today. Someone asks, do you know that Bhaiya is my younger brother? Why don't I know who is my maternal uncle's son? So brother, it is a

[11:26] will know? Are? This is this is this, he saw everything. My heart feels happy. It is a matter of fact. I am saying this from my heart today with my hand on it. I feel very happy to see where my brother has reached today. I will stand among 1000 people and

[11:41] say yes, today my brother is like. There are very few people who are happy with progress. Our brother is one of them. Many people enjoy it. I enjoy the rains a lot. It's his life. But

[11:58] rains do not cause much problems in our life. Why? Because when it used to rain in such a place, when we used to come from here, sometimes many insects and many things used to climb on our feet, it used to feel like mongooses also live here, snakes also come out here, there used to be many such

[12:12] things, and the biggest thing is that now there is no cleanliness here, it is

[12:25] rains we used to face the most problem even inside the house because even inside the house because look here, the roof etc. is made of stone, there is nothing, so water used to drip, water used to drip, as if the stove is on here, so we

[12:42] held a bucket and stood like this, it dripped from there, then we came here, some books were kept there, so why did we stand here, by doing this

[12:56] spend half the day like this, and many times what has happened is that when we were sleeping at night, what was the condition, come let me show you, when we used to lie down in the rain, the condition used to be like this, we used to

[13:10] lie down like this, water It is dripping again, it is dripping from here, it is dripping from there, sometimes we are here, sometimes we are there and sometimes what used to happen was that the whole night would

[13:27] night would pass by doing this, like this, like this. Mom, come here. When we used to lie down together, it used to rain and then it used to rain from here and there, so we used to sit like this. If you sit like this and feel sleepy, then

[13:46] this time we used to sit like this with mom. And whenever I felt sleepy, I would sometimes sleep with my head on my mother's shoulder. My mother herself never slept here. But she used to make us sleep in her lap. She used to make me sleep in her lap. And there was a time when

[14:03] sleep in her lap. And there was a time when if this water used to drip, then our mattress used to be a mattress here. So we used to keep the utensils in such a way that our mattress does not get wet. Because it rained every other day. So how will we survive in the wet

[14:18] ? How will you sleep? So by keeping such utensils, we used to protect our mattress and ourselves so that we do not get wet. Many times the evenings in the slum were very painful. Why? Because many times there were holidays in our school, so we used to stay at home.

[14:35] Because the environment in the neighbourhood was not such that we could go out or someone would feed us. There was no such atmosphere. And in the evening it is dark all around. A temple was burning. Devla will provide a little light. But he used to sit outside the slum. There is darkness all around us and

[14:51] sometimes we are afraid that someone might come from here. Now you must have felt that you would ever go out alone in your childhood. I feel scared going out alone for the first time. I will go out alone. I feel scared when I go in the dark. All these things like ghosts etc. used to remain in the mind

[15:05] during childhood that this should not come, that should not come, this should not come, that should not come. With all these fears, we used to remain hidden and sitting in our house. Used to wait for mom. Mom used to go to work. She used to wait for mom. Mom used to go to work. She used to come at 7-8:00 in the evening, so do you

[15:20] come at 7-8:00 in the evening, so do you know how we used to wait for her at that time brother, we used to

[15:37] climbing on us, we used to sit like this, watching mom from fear of you, so much fear and many times mom used to be late, so we used to sit like this for half an hour

[15:52] we used to sit like this for half an hour ? He used to sit like this. And as soon as mom came, there would be a different kind of happiness on her face.

[16:07] came, there would be a different kind of happiness on her face. Mom has come. bag and she used to bring something or the other which she used to give to her at the place where she worked. First of all, when

[16:19] we used to open the bag, something or the other would come out of it, like this, like this, like biscuits, then we used to be very happy on seeing it, very happy because we could not take it, mom used to

[16:35] we used to be very happy and like when our mom used to bring food, we used to be very happy. Just like a bird brings food to its nest for its children. a bird brings food to its nest for its children.

[16:51] mother used to remain hungry but she would definitely bring food for us. I have met their maid many times and she always used to say that son, we give some food to your mother, she does not eat it herself. She said that my children are at home, I will

[17:04] eat with them. Then we would take out the cheese and sit together and eat it with full enjoyment. Come,

[17:29] now we have told you all these things. Now I am going to tell you one more thing that So here I am going to show how the nights used to pass in summer. Come on.

[17:43] This is the only solution for the poor. OK to avoid mosquitoes. So we used to plant this. Then in the evening we would prepare to sleep. look, there were small holes in the mosquito net. There were

[18:00] we woke up in the morning, there would be a huge swarm of mosquitoes inside in the corner. That's what they used to eat. Those bastards would suck our blood while trying to escape and

[18:13] they too would not leave us alone. So when we used to sleep after mosquitoes went away, mother used to put us to sleep like this. She used to put my brother and me to sleep and just as we slept, mom would make us lie down and then she would also make us sleep. And sometimes when mom was there and felt

[18:28] And sometimes when mom was there and felt hot at night, then mom had to do it like this, just like this. I was a child, but it wasn't that much. It was not enough for mom to do it herself. I was so lazy that if I did even a little bit, my mother would start doing it again. Did

[18:51] show what was happening to us. Come. So Jai Bappa. Jai Bappa. So this is the uncle at our place, we used to look for a place to charge our phone. So our uncle used to say that you should install it at our place. And uncle's habits have been good since the beginning.

[19:04] Drains. Beautiful there by the creek. So we did not have things to charge etc. Uncle used to charge our phones etc. So this favor of yours will always remain with me, uncle.

[19:17] faced a lot of trouble. too much. Everyone knows. Everyone worried. Tell me, tell me, there were a lot of problems, many times someone set fire to the slum, I mean there were a lot of problems,

[19:30] today everything is fine by the grace of God, everything is fine by the grace of Baba, say everything is fine by the grace of Baba, say Jai Shankar Bhagwan and Mummy, tell me where did people stop me from filling water, there is Jai Shankar Bhagwan and Mummy, tell me where did people stop me from filling water, there is

[19:44] Mummy used to come out bending to fill water, some people used to live here earlier because Mummy used to bring a bucket or anything, if she brought a vessel, they would pick it up and throw it away, it was a very irritating situation. Very annoying. Look, this is the tank.

[19:59] This is a water tank. When mother used to come here to fetch water, people used to bring buckets here. When we brought cans, the people here would remove them and throw them away. You

[20:11] know how it felt in such situations. I will tell you now. Get out of here. Slum dwellers go to fetch water every day. It is a daily Hey, he is making me drink so much water. I don't know how all this is happening. I would

[20:23] when this situation was there and once I was standing like this, it this situation was there and once I was standing like this, it means that a person breaks down at this place. It breaks down a lot, friend. I used to feel very broken because I

[20:38] could neither match them nor could I tell them because I lived in such a place, so I faced a lot of problems, friend, a lot of them, so this was the place where

[20:52] I used to come and stand on Diwali day and this was the road, look show me, crackers used to burst on the road here, crackers used to burst on the night of Diwali, so I used to come and sit here, I am watching like this, I did

[21:14] happy just by seeing it like this. Then he would leave home the day after Diwali. Sometimes I found a firecracker here, sometimes there, sometimes there. So we kept it in our pocket and the

[21:26] there. So we kept it in our pocket and the next night we used to celebrate Diwali with that firecracker. next night we used to celebrate Diwali with that firecracker. I used to come out to play in the buildings near the road.

[21:39] So some rich kids used to stand there, do you know what their reaction was? I will show you. Brother, feed me too. Come on slum dweller. Move aside and go to your street. Get out.

[22:03] say that the time will come someday and Baba listened to me. Now I don't play with them. I don't even meet him. So finally guys, now we have come to our expensive conversation house. Say hail to Lord Shankar.

[22:19] this Bhasuri was too less, very less. If I ever get a chance, I will make a video on this completely but I still have a lot to do, then I will show it after that and you must be thinking show it after that and you must be thinking

[22:34] how I completed the journey from there to here or for that, then whatever I have done alone, felt, suffered, I will show it in a separate video, where I used to work, what I used to do, what I did stress I had, I will show all the things, now what do you say, show the house, let it be shown to

[22:49] not cast an evil eye, show it, finally say Jai Shankar Bhagwan, come, come brother, show me, come, come,

[23:25] you must have seen it, if you like it, tell me in the comments how you liked it and sometimes mom used to work in such houses, many people were good and when I used to go to many places, I used to sit like this, when I used to go to meet mom, I used to sit like this, then it used to happen that she is

[23:40] not doing her work, this is not doing, that is not doing, I used to hear this, let me hear this, let me show you once, let me feel it a little, come, oh aunty, you have come so late because it is time to come, oh if you do not feel like coming, then tell us,

[23:56] come, oh if you do not feel like coming, then tell us, we will arrange for another one, now go and eat quickly Make it, not able to taste it at all. If you don't know how to cook, please tell me. Now I will keep another one. There is

[24:11] tell me. Now I will keep another one. There is no taste at all, friend.

[24:26] Hey aunty, how have you mopped the floor? Look, there is dirt here too and I have swept it there. There is dirt there too. Looks like you'll have to remove it now. It is

[24:48] not necessary that a person should be poor, he should also be taunted by people, you see Ustad ji, one has to go through a lot of trouble, Guru, only then the

[25:01] career starts, so friend, I had already told you the motive of showing off, this was the motive that many people

[25:13] sit thinking that this is the only field we have. This is the extent of our slum, so we can only do jobs and that. Ca n't afford my own house. If you can buy a house, you can take it on rent. No, you can also buy your own and do a lot more.

[25:28] can also buy your own and do a lot more. I explain only three things to people which clear. Do not think bad about anyone and concentrate on God. The best thing

[25:43] not think bad about anyone and concentrate on God. The best thing if you can do is the fourth one, which is the most important one, which people of our level today are not able to do, that is girl. That has to be controlled first. Then you will do a lot.

[25:57] That has to be controlled first. Then you will do a lot. And here is my life blog about how I struggled and how I reached from a slum to a house. I will definitely make a video because if I don't make it in that one, I could have made it in this one too, but that is very different, friend. I will

[26:12] go to different locations and shoot. I will show him by feeling what all I have suffered. I will show him by feeling what all I have suffered. Ok? Thank you very much. And if you liked my life, liked everything in it, then thank

[26:26] you from the bottom of my heart. You will definitely like life you from the bottom of my heart. You will definitely like life but if you have learnt something then do tell me in the comments. If you have come this far then do share the video. I have not spoken about it till now, I am speaking about it today

[26:39] because it can become an inspiration for many people. Say hail to Lord Shankar. become an inspiration for many people. Say hail to Lord Shankar. Say Jai Ho.
