When I rambled along the local market, I found this boy. He moved listlessly and stopped working when he noticed me. A red line called Tilaka was drawn on his forehead. It showed he belonged to the Vaishnavism. Although he didn't work with enthusiasm, he might be a devout Hindu.
Anyway, he was selling coals there. He was just crushing colas with a hammer. I often saw this kind shops during strolling. Coals were still used to cook or boil water. Yet some people used cow pies, even now.
