In a bid to make his son understand the harsh reality of the world, a Gujarati billionaire sent his son to make a living out of his own to Kerala without any financial support. <br /> <br />Savji Dholakia, a diamond merchant and owner of Surat-based company worth Rs 6000 crore decided to send his 21-year-old son Dravya Dholakia, who is pursuing an MBA in the US and was on a holiday in India. He reached Kochi on June 21 with three pairs of clothes and Rs 7,000 that he was only supposed to use during an emergency, <br />He was given certain conditions by his father. <br /> <br />He needed to work to earn his money and he couldn't work at one place for more than a week. <br />He was asked not to use his father's identity and the mobile phone that he had when he left home. <br />He was also asked not to use Rs 7,000 taken from home. <br />Dravya agreed to all the conditions set by his father and set on the journey to understand how difficult it is to get a job and earn money without any support. <br /> <br />"For five days, I had no job or proper place to stay. I was frustrated as I was rejected at 60 places, as no one knew me here. I understood what is rejection and the value of a job in these few days," Dravya told TOI. <br /> <br />But, somehow, he managed to get his first job at a bakery which was followed by a job at a call centre, a shoe shop and even a McDonalds' outlet in the city. He earned Rs 4,000 plus in a month. <br /> <br />Dravya finally returned to Surat on Tuesday. He said that he never worried about money in life but life was so difficult that he struggled to get a meal worth Rs 40.
