When people receive their first salary, it is a memorable moment and they cherish it for life. You always remember what you did with your first paycheque. A man shared on Twitter how he used his first internship stipend towards buying an AC for his family and it is winning hearts online.
Devesh Kumar, who graduated from Netaji Subhas University of Technology, interned as a software development engineer, according to his Twitter bio.
