00:00When I was, my age was 8 and I was in my grandma's home and I was studying there.
00:08But my grandmother was a very poor, middle class, poor family.
00:15So in the morning only tea and the lunch is dal and the jowar ke roti and the dinner only
00:23the chapati and dahi.
00:27That is my food.
00:28And when I am going to school, I have only one uniform.
00:33I was not having chappal.
00:35In the rainy season, there was no umbrella.
00:40I use, wear that guni, jute guni.
00:44And then in the winter time, there is no, what you call, the sweater and all, you know.
00:52And I was right in the, on the plate, what you call that, by chalk we write.
00:58Blackboard.
00:59Yeah, blackboard.
01:00There was no, like a pen or books was at that time and we just, it's almost one, two kilometer
01:08my school, far from my home.
01:11So that much by walk we go.
01:14And the school also, the government school, and I use that pin, that safety pin as, when
01:22I don't have that, some buttons and all.
01:25But this safety pin, it will be useful for me when that, some kind of thorn or that,
01:34that I remove from that safety pin.
01:36So that kind of my life was there.
01:39And I came to Dubai, my age was 20.
01:43I work 16 hours a day.
01:46In the morning, I do the cleaning of my shops, I carry 50 kg bags, I do the packing and all
01:52the, this kind of item, I do the deliveries to the, home deliveries and all.
01:58I do, I deliver the goods to the restaurants, cafeterias and some kind of supermarkets,
02:05that raw materials and all.
02:07And at home, we cook only one kind of dal or sabji, and the chapati we bring the readymade
02:15or sometime that Arabic bread, khaboos.
02:20But we cook at one time at night, and the next day, I eat the same food, just make hot
02:27and we are eating that one.
02:31Then after the marriage life, the life a little bit changed, means my life is still, take
02:37care of myself.
02:41And then, means when I started the business in after 5-6 years that war is started, that
02:50Iraq and Kuwait, the people was going from here and I thought that I will lose all the
02:56money because it's newly opened business.
03:00But there was a change, I seen the people was buying the lot of goods in there, they
03:06are stocking the goods in their home, and I got a huge money, I made good profit.
03:14When there is opportunity, we should make the money.
03:18And then, I paid all my, I borrowed a lot of money from people and I given back to them.
03:27My mother's jewelry also was sold, I purchased all the, I purchased for her and I given back
03:33to her.
03:35That kind of my life was that.
03:38And the main, the second one, life is changed, I become sick, I work almost 16 hours a day,
03:49there was no rest to my body, and I was not eating on time, no breakfast, lunch I was
03:56eating at 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, dinner I was eating 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock in the morning.
04:02And that, there is severe acidity problem is started, and it is, it was so much painful
04:12for me that, the doctors have given me anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medicine.
04:19It's a very heavy dose, but I was taking the medicine, but there was no, I am not feeling
04:27well.
04:28So, I work only one, one and half hours a day in the whole day in the office, the whole
04:33day I was taking rest in my home.
04:36And, but one treatment I gone and I cured after 5 years.
04:43Then I changed my life, that whatever we make money, so I had to enjoy that my life, I had
04:49to give time to my body also, because it need food on time, and proper meditations
04:59and all.
05:00So, I given, means I work now almost 6-7 hours here in the office, but after I give time
05:07to my family, I go outside with my family, I do jogging and all, walking, doing exercise,
05:17I do meditation, eating on time.
05:19So, life is changed in my life, and I, everybody I will say, do eat on time.
05:29That is what I suffered that you should not suffer, everybody I tell like that.
05:35I can tell 5 business mantras to everybody, when you do turnover, don't think about the
05:41turnover, make the profit which you making.
05:44The profit is more important, because you doing business, but the, in the whole year
05:49how much you made, that is more important to you, for profit is the most important.
05:54And another is saying, take food, take on time, your health is important.
05:59If you are healthy, then you can work lot.
06:02Third, don't shy, whatever business you have, if you are carrying bags or doing any kind
06:11of low category also, but you feel that you are making the money for your family, stick
06:18to only one business, minimum 3 years is required to settle down the business, and any business
06:24start and suddenly it will not give you the profit.
06:26It takes minimum 3 years to settle down business, and slowly, slowly it will give profit.
06:31And if any problems come, don't try to that there is a plan, we will go for plan A or
06:37plan B, no.
06:38There is only plan one, do or die, that is the my, I would say, and the fifth one is,
06:45I can say don't miss opportunity, when times come, try to make money from that.
06:53Because I, war time also I made the money, there are lot of times comes there is a opportunity,
06:59you should take the advantage of opportunities.
07:01This Al-Adeel means, my father always says that whenever we live in that country, we
07:08have to respect their culture, their language, their religion, so that's why we keep Al-Adeel.
07:15So Al-Adeel means good man, you know, and our brand name is Peacock.
07:20So Peacock is the national bird of India, that's why we keep the Peacock brand.
07:24So this Al-Adeel has become so famous that, you know, everybody, Al-Adeel, I am a good
07:31man, means, good man, that's why I kept on, every, all my shops are Al-Adeel, and I am
07:37very happy I am doing the business here, it's a very business friendly, this country.
07:43The law are very helpful, and the less documentation, everything is online, so sit in your office
07:51and home and do all the transaction, it's so helpful, and this country is growing every
07:56day, and the rulers also, they are making the new rules to help to the business people
08:04and the new, they are all business minded, and every, that new people should come in
08:11this country and do this country in a big way, and when I came in some 35 years back,
08:19that Al-Adeel only, few people will know, but now Dubai has become so famous, and if
08:25I say I am from Dubai, that people will say, oh wow, it's such a beautiful country, if
08:31I say like that.
