The CEO of a major bank in Bombay used to get his shoes polished every day by a shoe polisher on the street corner. While getting his shoes polished, he sat in a chair and usually read the "Economic Times".

One morning, the polisher asked the CEO:

What do you think about the stock market situation?

The CEO asked sarcastically: Why are you so interested in this topic?

The polished man replied: I have 150 crore rupees deposited in your bank and I am planning to invest some of this money in the stock market.

The CEO said with a sarcastic smile: Yes, that's right! what is your name

Polished Wala replies: "Parvez Polished Wala"

Back at his bank, the CEO asked the account manager:

Do we have any user named Parvez Palashwala?

The manager replied: Of course, he is a valued customer! He has Rs 150 crore in his account." The CEO was shocked.

The next day, while shining his shoes, the CEO said to the polisher: "Mr. Polisher: I'd like to invite you as our special guest at our board meeting next week. We'd like to hear your life story. I'm sure We will learn a lot."

The following week, at a board meeting, the CEO introduced Polishwale to the board members:

We all know Mr. Pervez Polishwala, who shines our shoes like no other but is also our valued customer with Rs.150 Crores in his account. I have invited them to share my life story. Please tell Mr. Polish."

Pervez tells his life story:

30 years ago, in my youth, my younger brother and I migrated to Bombay from Kerala.

Forced by hunger and exhaustion, we started looking for work. One day suddenly I found a coin on the sidewalk and we bought some apples.

We had two options: eat apples to satisfy our hunger or start a business.

I decided to sell apples, my brother disagreed and separated from me😭.

After selling the apples, I bought more apples. That's how I started saving money.

One day when I got a few rupees together, I bought a used brush and a set of shoe polish and started a shoe shining business.

I lived very frugally, did not spend any money on entertainment or worldly goods and saved every single rupee.

After some time, I bought new brushes, a variety of polishes, and a chair so my clients could sit comfortably and do their work.

I continued to live frugally and saved as much as I could. Then a few years ago, a small shop became vacant in the market, so I bought it and expanded the business further.

About three months ago, my estranged younger brother died in Kochi. And that left Rs 150 crore for me. Actually he started drug business after breaking up with me and made good money and today the same money is deposited in my account in your bank.
