cottage industry
rattan mat making by the five foot path under the canvasWalking back from the restaurant, after a hefty meal, decided to take a walk down the streets of a small Indian vicinity, where I could see many shops, busy with people at the last minute shopping for groceries, getting their SIM cards, having a treat of Pani Puri by the five foot path whereby I have no guts to try, banana and corn sellers, and the rattan mat makers which I found it most interesting and unusual because this is supposed to be a cottage industry product. I thought BIG when product like this comes with skill involved. They have a canvas over their heads on the five foot path, making money with no rental incurred, working from morning till night, through rain and shine, having all three meals at the same place, just simply marvelous that made me smile with wonder. Yet they could do it in humility since the time they started. I guessed India is one place where you can do anything anywhere as they wish just to earn the humble living to feed the family.
I laughed most when I saw some cows waiting outside the Canara Bank with two Indians. Were the cows’ queuing for
the norm and the unusual clientele
cows and indians awaiting at the bank for banking transactions the ATM? Certainly not, as there is no ATM machine at the bank. My mind became more naughty and cheeky, probably awaiting for the bank to open to do some banking transactions with milk and cheese. They are not cardholders, that’s for sure. This certainly is for good laughs.
Maybe Canara Bank should come out with slogans, “We Foresee The Banking Future”. “We Accept All Form Of Collaterals” or maybe “We Make Banking Easy”
