Shoe repair
Though many handymen are going into oblivion, the shoe repairer still survives. This man had his shop on the pavement in Luz. I had given a shoe for repair and while waiting, there was a commotion nearby. The Corporation officials were demolishing some structures on the pavement a few yards away. This man was nonchalant and went about his business. He said that they demolish only structures and he had none.
