A Facebook user's post about his father's 'retirement' from the "Kirana" business has won many hearts online. Waheed Momin took to Facebook on the day his father decided to step down from the business, mentioning that "he was still not ready for the same." He penned a long caption explaining that his father first rented the space currently being used for his shop 33 years ago. He also added that the "Mastermind" behind the business "was obviously my Ammi." Waheed went on to explain some of the sacrifices and consistent efforts over three decades that his father put in to make a living. His hard work also enabled his son to get a "proper education" without having to take loans.

He wrote, "Because of my parents' hard work and because of this shop I could complete my education without any financial crisis and without borrowing a single penny from any person or bank. He used to run this shop daily from 9 am to 11 pm with only 2 days leave per year for celebrating two Eids. I also used to work there till 9th std after school time and I still remember rates of many kirana items during that period."

As per Waheed's Facebook profile, he is currently working as a Consultant Neurologist in Aurangabad. He feels sad because his father liked doing his work.

Towards the end, Waheed wrote that he hopes his father "enjoys his retirement and leisure time and takes care of his health which he has always ignored for us."
