The Life of a Street Hawker or A Street Hawker

A street hawker is a person who moves from street to street to sell his goods. He is a self-employed person. He is a very familiar figure both in villages and towns. But the number of street hawkers in the towns or cities is increasing day by day. He usually sells all kinds of daily necessaries, foods, clothes, cosmetics, toys etc. He carries his materials on head or in hands and sometimes in a small van. He buys his goods at a cheaper rate and sells them at a good profit. He is a very clever man. He generally wears a strange dress of different colours and makes peculiar sound to attract the attention of his customers. Children and women are his main customers. A street hawker may be an illiterate person but he knows his business very well. Generally, he comes to sell his goods when the master or the male person is out of home. He often cheats his customers by giving low quality goods at a high price. Still he is very popular among women and children. He brings things to our doors. Thus he makes the life and buying convenient . But he leads a very inconvenient ), difficult and subhuman life in a slum . We should be sensitive and sympathetic towards him.
