From paan to philosophy, this shopkeeper listens to it all.

Runs a small paan-cigarette shop next to the old banyan tree. His biggest worry is his younger son's engineering college fees in Lucknow, but his daily joy is the hour in the evening when the local men gather by his shop to argue about politics.
