Dear Readers,
I am a Nurse, and I have faced many challenges due to the low salary that makes it difficult to support a family. Working in a private hospital in India is especially tough. Often, I couldn't find housing near the hospitals where I worked.
When I rely on fish eggs for a week, my salary is around ₹20,000. From this, I need to pay my apartment rent, utility bills, society fees, send money home, and buy clothes. Reflecting on those days is painful, but I know that God helped us through the hard times.
This story is a small part of my life. I don't know what the future holds, but at least these words can share my experience with the world. So, let's dive into the story of a person living on a low income.

I see you've come to my website to learn about fish eggs, as shown in my video. I have a fondness for fish eggs, and I often buy them from a large wholesale market in Siliguri, located in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. Although I'm originally from Kerala, I currently reside and work as a nurse in Siliguri. To manage my daily expenses and keep costs low, I frequently visit this fish market, usually twice a week.
If you're in Siliguri and want to get good fish, you must visit the market by 5:30 a.m.
During June and July, fish eggs are available in large quantities. However, not everyone enjoys their taste as it can be quite unique. In Kerala, we have a special way of preparing fish eggs. We toast them with coconut, add coconut oil, chili powder, coriander powder, salt, and turmeric powder, and mix everything well for about 15 minutes before serving.
Fish eggs from larger fish, which can weigh between 15 to 20 kilos, are particularly exciting for us because they can weigh up to 2 kilos. This helps us manage our food budget for the week. We prepare fish fry one day, fish curry the next, and fish egg masala, toast, or a coconut oil mixture on the third day.
Working as a nurse in India, especially in private roles, often means dealing with low salaries and three shifts per month. This makes the affordability of fish eggs even more significant for my family. Seeing the bustling market with its many trucks full of fish always brings joy to my heart.
Thank you for reading my blog. I'm happy to know that someone is paying attention to my words. I write about my life experiences here, and I hope these stories will remain even after I'm gone. One last request: if you ever encounter a nurse in a hospital, please smile at them. It means a lot.
Currently, I'm back in Kerala to take care of my old parents. Feel free to leave your comments below the video or here on the blog. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks
RN Jorj ( Kerala )
