Last weekend we were in a mood to walk and explore the city. Ended up in this lane we were told is Gujarathi lane in Janpath market. Among all the road side stalls full of colorful embroidered wears and mirrorwork, this guy caught my attention. I can’t not buy beads. Just one look and I start dreaming of all the earrings I can make.
Sagar sells beads in this area regularly. However, today was a chance meet because generally, Saturday is his day off. He was hawking that day to get enough money to go watch the Captain Marvel movie. He has seen all Marvel movies there. He hasn’t read any Marvel comics though. He can’t read. Never been to school. “I learn as much about the story before I go”, he adds cheerfully. He was in a hurry to earn his 100 bucks. The show was in an hour so we moved on, but not before a quick photo and of course some beads for me.
