Mr. Panwallah's thoughts about hari in "The village by the sea"

My watch mending shop is so quiet without the presence of the youthful Hari. He enjoyed listening to all my lectures on various topics, while still doing a great job with those imported time pieces. Being a quick learner, those Rolexes were not a challenge for his nimble fingers, but as for myself my poor vision and constant illnesses pose a distraction from my occupation. Not only was he a quick learner, he also worked …

…his family back home at Thul. Now all I hope is that he will keep this trade and remember all that he has learned as he will be able to adapt, as maybe one day he will learn to fix all those fancy imported digital watches from Japan. Everything that he does is a great job, and working and striving in this direction I have full faith in him that he will certainly become successful.
