The 'King' of P M Road



Raja, true to him name is looked after by a hawker Guddu who currently runs a ‘chaas’ business. Over the last seven years that we have known him, Guddu has been making a living by selling all kinds of things on the pavement of P M Road where Raja lives.

Raja was brought there as a puppy eight years ago. Guddu proudly states that Raja’s father is still around in the area and his brother was adopted and looked after by the corner ice cream store which has now been converted into a lottery shop located across the Strand Book House.

Raja spends his time sleeping on the footpath and hanging around. Guddu is very fond of him and all the other hawkers add “Raja toh hamara body guard hai”. (Raja is our bodyguard)
