Two two wheeler shops!
These two people are door to door salesmen, who reach the interior parts of villages to sell the vessels. They know the needs of the local community and take the vessels which would be needed during each season. With the summer about to set in, households would need vessels to carry and store water. So both these salesmen carry vessels for that purpose. They might sell at least half of them by the end of the day! They travel about fifty or so kilometres one way to do this.
They earn their livelihood from this. But they provide for those who cannot travel to shopping centres.
The rural India of villages is different from the urban and semi-urban culture. The mobile phones and Television net work might have penetrated the villages, but not the other amenities.
I know of a family who moved from their urban home to live in a village to help the farmers learn sustainable farming practices. In three years, he got the farmers organised so well that they produce vegetables which they export to some middle east countries. The farmer's income have doubled when their products have found a market !
The rural India is looking for people who can bring welfare measures to them!
