Sangeet with her Buffalo
Sangeet with her Buffalo

As I entered Sangeeta’s house, I was delighted to see the cute idol of Ganeshji in the temple. She gladly put a tilak on my forehead as I reached to seek Bappa's blessings. Sangeeta had taken a loan of Rs 20,000 to expand her buffalo husbandry business. With the loan, she bought a buffalo, besides one buffalo that she already had. Apart from this, she also constructed her concrete house. With tears in her eyes, she exclaims, "Deva re deva!" and then continues to tell us about how her husband who was once involved in alcohol consumption, quit alcohol completely and returned home. It was indeed her determination and hard work that brought her husband back. But she is truly grateful to Milaap's lenders for giving her loan which worked as a light of hope in her times of despair. Today Sangeeta's two sons are getting settled in Kolhapur & Mumbai respectively. Sangeeta is quite confident that now with the support of her husband (who now works as a farm laborer), she will be able to provide her family a good life. As we were about to leave, Sangeeta insisted on us having tea. I had to hurry back home, however, she wouldn't let me go. So we sat and had tea after which with motherly affection Sangeeta bid me a warm bye. She held my hands and thanked again. I just wanted to hug her back and so I did.
