Manu Agrawal, an engineer who has worked for companies including Microsoft and Google, recalls how his family financed his college education despite limited means. He says his father sold his mother’s jewellery to raise money for his fees, and that his mother also gave up her gold bangles quietly so he could continue his studies. Agrawal later entered the software industry and, according to his account, reaches a high-paying role, describing it as a result of years of effort after that early family support. He also notes that after achieving financial success, he wanted to buy jewellery for his mother, but her response emphasized that what mattered most was his presence rather than material items. The story has been shared widely online, with readers responding to the theme of parental sacrifice and the role of family help in educational and career journeys.
