At the Market


















I think that this job's name does not have any translation except the Hindi language.
Basically the guy on the left checks that the guy on the right has not stolen anything on his way from the cash machine to the exit door.
Usually the cash machine and the exit door are not more distant than 2 metres.




Sort of introduction

With 1.55.347.678 inhabitants, one of the biggest  problems India is facing is an increasing unemployment.
For this reason, thousands of people created or are involved in daily tasks whose utility is at least questionable. My blog is born to share this side of India which actually contributes to the incredible image that this country has all over the worls. So it is not  my intention to judge Indian society at any extent, but I just want to give visibility to those small things that make me smile enormously even when a virus has taken power in my stomach!

Some rules people should be aware of:

Indian people do not like working alone. 
Thus, for a task which requires only one person, you will find at least four people working on that, but actually only one is working and the others are checking that he is doing in the right way!

An example.

Street food sellers. The only person really working is of course the youngest (other rule).

If you do not see women in this Blog, it is not a case.
