Fresh off the plane in Mumbai I hit the streets this afternoon and stumbled on a re-culture gem. Nestled behind a lean-to stall on Grant Rd were two ingenious guys fashioning lanterns out of scrap metal and glass. They cut the salvaged glass into small sections to create the lantern casing. Given that Diwali is just around the corner – they're bound to make a killing with very low material costs. I wasn't the only one fascinated by their street-side enterprise – a small fan-club had gathered round and were equally impressed with their lucrative venture.
