In Asian cultures, people have always had diverse jobs to make a living and build successful lives. I'd like to tell you about my grandfather, who owned a typewriter business. Back then, typewriters were like the computers of today. In those days, people would write official documents by hand, but handwriting could be difficult to read and understand. So, the typewriter was invented in 1873. My grandfather started his business when he was just 15 years old. I know that's very young, but in those times, people often started working and running their own businesses at a young age. The competition wasn't as fierce back then, and the ways people earned a living were very different from today. He established his factory in Mohali, which is near Chandigarh, where we live. He focused his business on the area he knew best, the northern region, as he understood the market there. He told me a lot about typewriters, how they worked, and how he started his business. He owned the typewriter company for about 40 to 50 years. The demand for typewriters was very high, and many companies were involved in the industry. His factory was named after him, Patiala Associations, and the brand name was Facet. I'm very proud of my grandfather for being the first person to introduce typewriters to North India. He took a risk by introducing them to the government sector and was the one who taught people how to use them. I'm truly proud of his accomplishment.
