Delhiwale: The world under a tree

Hindustan Times  

The pavement is free of litter. The centrepiece of this setting is shoe repairer Bansi, perched behind his modest stall, in Gurugram’s Sector 19, near Krishna Chowk. “It took me a lot of hard work and some good luck to establish myself on this spot,” says Bansi. I deliberate before arriving at a decision.” So, Bansi went about the national capital’s streets for weeks, watching people and their professions, “and asking myself what I can do and what I cannot.” His gaze narrowed down to a shoe repairer in Chhattarpur. “I approached him, worked long enough for him to learn shoe repairing.” And eventually, he established his own business under this pilkhan tree in Millennium City.
