Theo’s POV :-
I parked my van in my usual spot, next to Rao’s green truck, a peculiar color that only his vehicle has in the entire market. It’s in the shade of the inside of an avocado but dull, he takes pride in it since only he has that color. he loves to stand out, the very reason he wanted to work on his own and was willing to partner with a foreigner, a total newbie like me. It made him stand out to have a subordinate who is ‘an American’, he loves to flaunt that too.
As I passed through the shops in the market, they greeted me by raising a hand in the air or a slight nod of head. it is the norm here to greet, it isn’t much of a bother given that I am usually on the receiving side, I just reciprocate with a nod of the head as most of the time my hands are busy carrying the boxes.
