Proust questionnaire with a fellow citizen
-
It is 10pm. The venerable Ata Ul, a labourrer, has already installed the mosquito net over his regular sleeping spot. He always sleeps in this central Delhi market, right outside a shop that gets shuttered by this hour. Sitting cross-legged, the soft-spoken gent graciously agrees to become a part of our Proust Questionnaire series, in which citizens are nudged to make “Parisian parlour confessions”, all to explore our distinct experiences.
Your favourite virtue.
The life I lead.
Your main fault.
Smoking beedi.
Your favourite occupation.
