Dharna is good business

Protests by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in front of Rail Bhavan may have thrown normal life out of gear and troubled commuters. But one enterprising shopkeeper wasn't complaining. Unlike Jantar Mantar, which is a regular protest site and has many street food stalls, the Rail Bhavan circle does not have many eating places and even the nearby Press Club of India was closed. As a result, the dharna became a windfall for the small shop on Red Cross road. The shopkeeper did more than the entire week's business in just two days selling tea and snacks. In honour of the occasion, he even expanded the menu with Maggi noodles, bread pakoras and omelettes.
