I completed higher secondary school and got admission in arts in 1990. At that time Kashmir was having lot of problems due to militant activities. I went to a master who was well known at that time, he taught me papier-mâché craft, and some basics. I have 2 children, a daughter who is studying in 3rd standard and a son studying in 2nd standard. This work is important for me because I am able to meet my expenses and take care of my family. Work has provided me good living conditions and also respect in my family and as well as in society, too.
