Yasmin migrated to London from India when she was 18 years old and then to UAE before finally reaching the shores of Australia.
From securing work in the production line of a company to becoming a factory manger in a competitive food manufacturing company to a challenging position at Wyn Blinds as Manager-Operations, Yasmin has come a long way. Still, she says, there are days her Anglo Indian roots show especially when she craves for a pepper water and rice.
We are so spoilt in Melbourne, says Yasmin. “Life here can be so luxurious; we enjoy a perfect winter (compared to the UK) and an amazing spring. Summer brings a great festive season and Christmas a whole new feel,” she says, and adds that she would not give it up for anything in the world.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
