On Saturday, this paper carried a front-page report about a former chaiwalla named Somnath Giram. Originally from Solapur, Giram's was a fairytale story: he started selling tea in Pune after he came to study there, after which, he passed his Chartered Accountancy (CA) exam. He was felicitated for the feat and in April 2016, the state government appointed him as Maharashtra's brand ambassador.

Giram then started visiting colleges and universities across the state under the 'Earn and Learn' scheme, giving lectures to students, and sharing his life story and experiences with them.
