Faces of India – 29 Furniture Maker at a Roadside Shop

A furniture maker by profession, he has a small makeshift roadside shop. Just about seventeen years or so, I asked him if he was attending any college. He gave a short laugh in reply, “where akka (elder sister) and how? My father tried sending me to school but I gave up after my 7th grade. I am happy doing this and helping him make the cane furniture.”

Faces of India,

Faces of India is a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.
