A man's story of hard work and dedication to support his family has been winning hearts online. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), a Bengaluru-based investor, Sandeep Ravillu, shared an image of a man, named Raju, who is seen selling idli and dosa batter. The user mentioned in the post that Raju sells batter before his full-time job to educate his daughter.
Raju has been running a small stall near Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Ravillu stated that he has been his customer for 15 years. Raju's day begins early, selling fresh dosa and idli batter from 6:00 am to 10:00 am. After that, he heads to his second job, working as an employee for the rest of the day.

"For 15 years, I've bought dosa-idli batter from the same man outside Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Mr. Raju sells batter 6-10 am, then works as an employee the rest of the day," the caption of the post read.
"Two jobs. No complaints."
His relentless effort resulted in his daughter, who is a Master's graduate, now working at a multinational company. "He educated his daughter-today she's a Master's graduate working in an MNC biotech firm," the post mentioned.
"If you're around Lalbagh in the morning, buy from him. Not charity-just supporting a man who shows what real compounding looks like. Quiet Legend."
