00:00This is the story of a poor boy who, he's only 13 years old, but has a spark in his eyes.
00:07That age, he had the intelligence of an old man.
00:10At that age, children play with toys.
00:13Vedanta used to go with his mother to collect garbage at 5 a.m.
00:16His mother, Shahamali, would go out to collect it.
00:20Wet and dry garbage is segregated from every house in the colony.
00:25She holds a big sack in her hand and holds it over her face.
00:28Every morning, he gets dressed and his feet are bare.
00:32He threw the garbage out of the car parked outside the hut.
00:36She picks up the big bag and Vedanta follows her.
00:40The son of the junk dealer left without saying anything.
00:43The school children used to make fun of him.
00:46Is there any garbage in your bag yet?
00:48You stink, Vedanta. Be quiet.
00:50There was no anger in his eyes, but something else, maybe tolerance,
00:54or maybe dream the glow that he kept hidden in his heart.
00:58Sometimes the teacher would tell me to wear washed clothes, oh Vedanta,
01:02and these shoes are torn on this head.
01:05He bows and replies,
01:07I need money to buy new ones, no ma'am, but I want to study.
01:12When he returns home, he does not wait for food.
01:16Not for his father's shouting at his father.
01:18King drinks all day and abuses at night.
01:20What rubbish your mother has created.
01:24Shamani, the junk dealer, just cries silently.
01:28She would clean it up and push Vedanta back, son.
01:31Read and do not be affected by your father's words.
01:35That night when the electricity was cut in Vedanta,
01:38an old man was sitting under the streetlight.
01:41I was reading a book when someone threw it at me.
01:43Luck only favors losers.
01:45You cannot believe it.
01:46He read this line again and again.
01:49Vedant was good at studies, even though he had it.
01:52There were no books or internet, but what?
01:55Shyam also liked to put his hand on his head every night,
01:57no matter how much garbage we pick up.
02:00Son, your future should be bright for Vedant.
02:02I smile and say,
02:04Mom, I am not a garbage dealer.
02:08I will become something big, very big on Sunday.
02:12Vedant, with his friend Shockett,
02:15found plastic near the railway track.
02:17He collects bottles, and each bottle is sold for one rupee.
02:22And with this money, he sometimes buys books.
02:25But I did not get even a Vata Pav to eat mother and son,
02:28used to share the same bread.
02:29But in that hunger, and in that love, there was love.
02:34Such a power that can bend even destiny.
02:38One day, there was a parents' meeting in the school.
02:42She came with her face covered in torn cotton clothes.
02:46The class teacher felt ashamed but proud of her son,
02:48said in front of everyone that such children,
02:51whose parents do dirty work and all the rest,
02:53the whole class laughs and influences the children.
02:56But Vedant got up and stood in front of everyone.
03:00I told her that, Madam,
03:01my mother collects garbage,
03:03but she works harder than anyone else.
03:06The one who cleans your house is the one you give us.
03:10She calls me dirty,
03:12but think about the real dirt.
03:14There is silence in the class,
03:17Shamli.
03:18Tears started falling from her eyes,
03:20but she, that night,
03:21Vedant himself smiled for the first time.
03:24Now I will not just tolerate.
03:26I will change my situation and people's thinking.
03:30She also looked at the sky and said,
03:31Oh God, I ask you, don't give me miracles.
03:34Just give me courage,
03:35because only hard work changes your destiny.
03:38Lord, don't give me any miracles.
03:41Just give me courage.
03:43Give it because only hard work changes your destiny.
03:46The next morning,
03:48she is with her mother,
03:50as usual.
03:51I set out,
03:52but today the route changed a little.
03:55My mother had fever,
03:56so I picked up the sack at the same time.
03:59I started walking towards the nearby park.
04:01Gentleman Vineet Verma was under the tree.
04:04He was teaching some children through an NGO.
04:07He used to run a program
04:08whose aim was to help poor children.
04:11I was providing free education to Vedant around.
04:14I was picking books from plastic bottles.
04:17His eyes kept rising towards Vineet.
04:20I saw,
04:21What do you want to study, son?
04:23Vedant hesitated a bit and then said,
04:25Yes, study.
04:25I want to do it,
04:26but work is important now.
04:28What do you do?
04:28I collect garbage books.
04:30Hearing this,
04:30I decided to buy it.
04:32My eyes filled with tears.
04:33Vineet G said,
04:35You are mine.
04:36Come to the center.
04:37We will teach you for free.
04:39Vedant replied with a smile.
04:41Sir, education may be free,
04:43but my hard work, no.
04:45I have to earn at least 50 daily.
04:47Vineet G made a suggestion to you.
04:50Please clean our center and change it.
04:52Die.
04:53I can also study in Vedant's eyes.
04:55This was the first time anyone had seen him.
05:00I did not beg,
05:01but gave a chance when Vedant came home.
05:04You told me this.
05:05Tears came to my mother's eyes.
05:08My son is going on the right path.
05:11Now no one can stop your destiny.
05:14I go to Vedanta Shyam Center and sweep this place.
05:17I will clean the floor and then sit with the children.
05:20Slowly he studied his maths,
05:21and Vineet G saw that his English was improving.
05:24This boy is smarter than the other children.
05:27There is passion.
05:28There is enthusiasm.
05:29Now is Vedanta's day.
05:31The time from 5 to 8 a.m. is spent collecting garbage.
05:359 to 2 school.
05:373 to 5 from railway tracks collection of bottles.
05:406 to 9 NGO centers.
05:41But sometimes he would get tired of studying.
05:44But he would stop.
05:44No.
05:46One day a computer was brought to the center.
05:49Gaia Vedanta touched a mouse for the first time.
05:53Vedanta had surprise in his eyes,
05:55but dedication in his heart.
05:57He slowly learned the basics by watching videos on YouTube.
06:01He started learning coding and technology.
06:04The NGO people also took a keen interest in him.
06:07Whenever he learned something new,
06:09they supported him.
06:10He would make notes with it,
06:12and then give them to others in the evening slowly.
06:15He would tell the children his identity.
06:18Vedanta is going to be the fastest one day.
06:21His story was published in the local newspaper.
06:24The child who used to collect garbage
06:26is now learning coding.
06:28The school children call him a junkie.
06:31Now the same teacher who was there
06:32started asking him questions.
06:34I used to look down on him.
06:36Now I admire him.
06:37But Vedanta had no pride.
06:39He told his mother that this was just the beginning.
06:42The NGO has a lot to do to make Vedant.
06:46A scholarship offered by a good school in the city.
06:49But there was a dilemma.
06:50If he, if I join the school,
06:52I will have to collect garbage.
06:55Vedant would lose the household expenses overnight.
06:58He stayed awake.
07:00His mother was sleeping.
07:01He took care of his mother.
07:02I saw his face.
07:04Tired but calm.
07:05Now I have to decide.
07:06Can I dream big?
07:09When responsibility is pulling me to the ground,
07:12Vedant's eyes were fixed on his mother's face.
07:14Face full of wrinkles and fatigue.
07:17On the body and still on the lips.
07:20The same old love, that smile that he had now decided on mother.
07:24Next morning, I will not let you carry the burden anymore.
07:29Vedant went to Vinici and said in his head,
07:31I want to get a scholarship.
07:33But at the same time,
07:34I also want to do some work so that I can go home.
07:38Vinici thought something and smiled.
07:40You are a hardworking son.
07:42We will give you a share.
07:43We will also give time for a job in our NGO.
07:47Manage the website.
07:48Study during the day.
07:50Work in the evening.
07:52That's right.
07:53Vedant's eyes sparkled.
07:54Now the steps have been taken,
07:56which are in the direction of destiny.
07:58They are going to change into a big school in the city.
08:02He took admission and wore the uniform for the first time.
08:06I picked up my bag and went to school on my bicycle.
08:09Initially, some children made fun of him.
08:12He was a junk dealer.
08:13Now he will speak English.
08:15But gradually, his hard work in mathematics surprised everyone.
08:20He creates new projects and top coding.
08:22He became the apple of the teacher's eyes.
08:25In the competition, he presented a waste management app.
08:29It is designed to classify waste correctly.
08:32The judges asked him,
08:33How did you get the idea?
08:35He said with a smile.
08:37My life is connected with garbage.
08:39So I recognized the pain.
08:41The whole hall echoed with applause.
08:44Vedant echoed and came home.
08:46Mother put bread on the plate.
08:48Vedant was serving the newspaper to his mother.
08:50There was a big picture of the junk dealer on the front page.
08:55The son became a hero of innovation.
08:57The mother's hand stopped.
08:59Tears started flowing from my eyes.
09:01But those tears?
09:03Vedant's mother was not a cause of sorrow, but a cause of pride.
09:07She held my hand and said,
09:09Now you are just a mother.
09:11She is not a garbage collector who has been carrying the load for years.
09:15I will carry your son now.
09:17My mother passed away just after I finished school.
09:21Vedant started a startup with some friends.
09:23Small startup started Clean Roots.
09:26A mobile app that helps people find recycling.
09:29And encourages people to pick up garbage.
09:32The NGO's support connects directly with the workers.
09:36Vedant has connected many families with it.
09:39Now no child is picking up garbage after skipping school.
09:43His work came under the media spotlight.
09:45Big investors saw it.
09:46And slowly Vedanta's start became a mission.
09:49The day I got a mail from a big American university saying that we are offering you a full scholarship.
09:56This social entrepreneurship is in the mother's footsteps.
10:00I grabbed her and said,
10:03Mother, have you ever taught me about school?
10:05I didn't snatch the books.
10:07Now I am complete for you.
10:09I will come back after conquering the world after three years.
10:13When Vedanta returned to the village,
10:16No one called him a junk dealer anymore.
10:19The son didn't say that the children were his posters.
10:23People used to come to meet him who kept him.
10:27He was expelled from the same school.
10:30Today he was invited as a special guest at Vedanta.
10:33He went on stage and said that I have done a miracle.
10:36I didn't do it, only because of my mother's hard work and my own.
10:41If you trust honesty, you will be ashamed.
10:45Those who despise hard work come because real honor never comes from close friends.
10:51You get what you deserve, not from your shame.
10:55There is dignity in the hard work of a garbage collector,
10:59be it a son or a farmer, if he has fire in his heart.
