Stories off the Roadside


"We are from Bihar and have been here for many years. I can speak many languages like Bihari, Hindi, Gujarati, Rajasthani and Banjara! I mean I can understand it clearly but may have to think while speaking. But I don't trust women. We all are totally against them. Recently heard about this female, who stabbed her husband to elope with her lover! No Boss, not for us!"


"You want to take my photo? Hope its not for anything illegal. My wife has always been complaining about this small shop-on-wheels that I have. I don't make a lot of money to buy her a proper house. But I like to be stylish in my clothes. I tell her the same thing too-"Always be dressed for the occasion". But she wont listen. She will be lazing around in her "comfortable" home clothes. And I love her for the way she is-just like that :)


"I make 6-10 mattresses per day depending on the size. Sometimes more, sometimes less. The branded mattresses are good too and are selling well, but they are not eating into our share. God has made everyone different and they all have their choices. I am happy that we are all getting enough business."


"Could you please click a photo of all of us? We can pay you for the photo too! I never go to studios to get a photo clicked. Our husbands go to work early in the day and come late in the night. All we have is our kids and each other. This will definitely bring a smile to our faces. Do take a nice one"
