Chew the quid

In Morbi. 60km from Rajkot (Gujarat), Gauri grabs attention for her addiction to Masala Paan. Nothing new. Just that Gauri is a cow. She visits Jagadish Sindhi’s paan shop at least six times a day.

Best stroke

Almost every day for 12 years, Abdul Malik of Padinjatumuri village in Malappuram (Kerala) has been paddling a rubber tube across the Kadalundi River.

Service 12*7

A workshop that functions 24*7? A dream comes true for motorists. Well those in Indore (Madhya Pradesh) are lucky ones. The nameless workshop owned by Mohammed Salim has never closed since 1947.
