A Street Hawker

A Street Hawker

A man who sells various things by moving from street to street is a street hawker. He usually lives in a slum. He wears a peculiar dress of different colours and makes peculiar sound to draw the attention of his customers. His works are tiresome. He carries his materials on head, sometimes in hand, sometimes in a bag and sometimes in a small handcart. He generally buys his goods at a cheaper rate and sells them at a good profit. His articles are mainly attractive to the women and children. He usually sells toys, cosmetics, ready-made garments, utensils, sweets, ribbons, fruits etc. Generally in the absence of the housemaster, he comes to sell goods. Although he works hard, his life is miserable. All most all the time he leads a subhuman life.
