The Unforeseen Wealth: Embracing Illiteracy

After many years, today Mukesh Babu found a newfound joy in his mother's illiteracy. As a child, learning about her lack of education and degree from others filled him with profound shame and embarrassment.

His mother, adept at managing their tranquil village home, was a woman of simple means but great wisdom. He recalls moments when her frustration would surface, questioning, "Will you forever be just a thumbprint?" His brother would stand by her, affirming, "Yes, Mother! Mukesh speaks the truth!"

"Study hard," she would lovingly urge her sons, "Become great men. I've learned enough." 

Years passed, bringing change. His brother found work overseas, and Mukesh's family flourished. But amidst these transformations, their father's absence was keenly felt.

Today, Mukesh Babu and his wife basked in newfound happiness. Reflecting on their journey, they realized that without his mother's illiteracy, their fortunes may not have changed so dramatically, nor would they have secured their rightful place in the family's legacy.
