Chennai: A little more than a year ago, Michael Crichton, Robert Ludlum, Jeffrey Archer, and Brown are names of gopalan and nageswaran (name change) no matter.
Now, the salary deduction induced by a pandemic and limitation of transportation services has forced them to become sellers of old and used books.
They now have sufficient knowledge of the best-selling paperback.
One of them is still a physical education teacher in private schools; Other taxi booster.
While they did not meet each other before, both of them had established a cellular book kiosk in their car along the busy lake road in Madipakkam.
“My grandfather used to sell old books on Moore Market which was destroyed in the IN1985 API.
After the early months of locking when taxi services were allowed, there was no business that was fast and a few who came also Covid patients.
Because I have a little knowledge about this, I took it, “said 50-year-old Nageshwaran.
Every morning, he loaded his taking with books from his house in Perumbakkam and then the station outside the apartment complex in Mambakkam.
At night, he sets a shop along Lake Madipakkam.
Salary Ganesan as a physical education teacher in a private school is cut because of a pandemic, forcing him to take a side job.
“My sister’s family is in business.
When I explained my situation, they suggested I took this.
Because I have my own car, I use it as a shop instead of choosing a rental kiosk or shop,” said the 40-year-old person.
Ganesan, who has been a pet for 16 years, never predicted this situation.
“In the early days, I was more embarrassed about selling books in public places.
Over time, it has come down.
Now, even if management returns a salary, I think I will try and continue this cellphone kiosk.”
