Jo garv mujhe aaj mehsoon hota hai wo sab mere kaam ki wajah se hai. Jab me kisi ko bolti hu ki me khud apne ghar ke liye kamati hu, mene khud apne paiso se gaari kharidi hai, sona kharida hai,, ghar banaya hai, apne bacche ko ache school bheja hai to mera dil khushi se bhar jata hai kyunki sirf paisa nhi YesMadam ne mujhe samman dilaya hai."
