I am referring to my Sharpeners on Bicycles post in which I showed a unique age-old process of sharpening knives using the "machinery" fitted on a bicycle. Exactly 23 hours back from this post time, I found him again, the same unique-man! This time, he had his cute little baby boy with him. He has named him Vicky. See the cute ponies in his photograph below. This time, I photographed the full bicycle to show the mechanism.
Full photograph of the bicycle. See how basic yet useful the design is; the rear wheel has an extra ring, which is used to power the rotating sharpener.
Vicky and the unique-man.
You can identify that he's the same man by the tattoo on his right hand in both the posts.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting hairstyle for the boy!
ReplyDeleteQuite ingeneous!
ReplyDeleteHi Bravesh Chhatbar!
ReplyDeleteI'm Dsole from Madrid! Your blog is quite interesting! I really like it!
The girl in the photo is so cute :)
I have another blog called "momentos" which is the one I updated now... Madrid DP is closed now, but thank you so much for visit it!
See you soon :)
Thanks for your visit Bhavesh.
ReplyDeleteWay to go for this street peddler! Nice photograph.
Bravesh Chhatbar, how interesting this unique man and the little girl, Vicky. We used to have a man in a rickity old truck come around and sharpen our knives manually ( not using a bicycle, though) He doesn't come anymore unfortunately. There is no place to sharpen knives anymore... I'm glad I found your blog and thanks for commenting at my blog.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour ta visite sur mon blogue, ce que tu dis est intéressant, je le comprend mais ne peut répondre en anglais. Je reviendrai.
ReplyDeleteIntéressant et certainement efficace !
ReplyDeleteMerci d'être venu sur mon blog ! Et à bientôt !
What a cutie with those big eyes. The bicycle..very inventive.
ReplyDeleteOuch, watch out for those knifes...
ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting and great to see something like that being done without using anything but human power and energy. I remember some sort of treadle powered honing stone in my grandparents basement, but don't think I ever saw it used. Thanks for visiting one of my blogs.
ReplyDeleteHi Dsole, I just visited your Momentos blog. I liked the photograph in your recent post. The road is so perfectly getting contrasted against the raw surrounding.
ReplyDeletePas de problème, Solange. Vous êtes les bienvenus pour revenir à mon blog.
ReplyDeleteThe knigfes will be sharp, very sharp.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Bhavesh. I don't write very well in english but I read very well.
ReplyDeletePretty little girl!
No problem Lyliane. You're welcome to my blog!
ReplyDeleteHope you are getting your knives sharpened too, Bhavesh :)
ReplyDeletebtw, How does this post justify your blogname!?
oh yeah, the mechanism...right! :)
visit again
wishes,
devika
One of the "right"s :)
ReplyDeleteSure Devika. Your blog is interesting.
the first photo is beautifully composed.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Did you see the referred post? Sharpeners on Bicycles I guess, you would like the photograph in that post more than the first photograph of this post.
