Creativity and enterpreneurship is found on the streets

Indians are a bunch of creative people. A case in point:

I: On three sides of my office building, DLF is doing really huge construction activity. Implying that there are large number of construction workers/labourers working from morning to evening and staying in temporary hutments provided by the builder. They are going to be here for at least a year or get engaged in another huge construction project going on just 500 metres away. Most of these workers are migrants from Bihar and poorer regions of UP. Looking at their requirement to call up their families in remote villages, a guy had set up a movable kiosk (thela) with 4-5 WLL telephones (Reliance/Tata). And whenver I pass by in front of his thela , his phones are always engaged.

And by the way, when the labour move to another nearby construction site one year hence, I have no doubt that this creative thela wala would move along.
