In the chaos that is Chor Bazaar, I came across this calm and composed barber going about his work. These traditional one-man salon are commonly found all over the city. The funny part in such a setup on a ‘khatiya’ is, the customer has to hold the mirror himself, as the barber has both his hands busy. But this uncle didn’t really bother with that. Also, seems like the waiting customer did not take my capturing his unshaven look too kindly.
Take Care,
Ciao
I have seen this in many cities. The barber who thoroughly enjoys his work and the customer who has “surrendered” his “self” totally to the barber are a treat to the eyes.
