Work We Do

Like other days, Balbir reached the tea stall after his breakfast. His brother Satvinder who had come from the village was also with him. The worker at the tea stall gave him a cup of tea and said – Here is today’s newpaper. How do you spend your whole day sitting here? Don't you get bored – asked Satvinder?Oh no! One does not realise how the time flies. Look at that group of children. As usual, they are late for school. Everyone is running ! The teacher is also late today. Oh! it seems her sandal has broken. She is going to Jaggu Bhai, to get it repaired. It’s good for him, he will get some money early in the morning Champa is sitting there with her basket full of flowers. The lady working in the post-office buys flowers from her everyday. The construction work has started again. The truck is bringing materials. The workers will again be busy the whole day. Look there, the doctor and the nurse are entering the hospital together.

See Ramulu with his fruit – cart. These days he also brings Chinamma with him. Chinamma runs around – delivers fruits and collects money. Nanu, the barber has laid out his shop – but whom will he shave? Right in the middle of the crossing stands Iqbal Singh. Throughout the day, he blows his whistle and keeps shouting

– move your vehicle from here,Hey, have you not heard me  take the cart away. Saying this Balbir put down his empty cup and walked to a nearby shop. Act out what people would do at a crossing or in a weekly bazaar.
