Question

The first casualty came in the form of the suspension of the train halt at Rameswaram station. The

newspapers now had to be bundled and thrown out from the moving train on the Rameswaram Road between Rameswaram and Dhanuskodi. That forced my cousin Samsuddin, who distributed newspapers in Rameswaram, to look for a helping hand to catch the bundles and, as if naturally, I filled the slot. Samsuddin helped me earn my first wages. Haifa century later, I can still feel the surge of pride in earning my own money for the first time.
