Change over

...........On the streets of Chandni Chowk, one of the busiest markets of Old Delhi, I came across some pavement vendors with a spread of a variety of 25 paisa and 50 paisa coins belonging to different eras — 1957 to 2009. Taj, the vendor, gave me a strange look as I picked up a handful of coins just to sense how my grandmother would have felt while buying the daily groceries with these minted treasures or my father when he got a bunch of them on winning a match or performing well in his exams.............
