Subbaiah sold rice at the market gate. In his shop he found, heaped in wicker baskets, all varieties of rice, from pebbly coarse rice to Delhi Samba, white as jasmine and slender as a needle. His shop was stuffy and dark, but there was no place on earth like it for him. He loved every inch of it. He liked the smell of gunny sack, he liked the smell of rice and husk, and he lived the warm feel of rice in his basket when it arrived fresh from the mill. Through good times and bad times he flourished.

There were days of drought-when paddy did not come up and the rice mills were silenced; when people looked hallow-eyed and seemed at the point of falling dead on the road side. But even then he did not close his shop. If he did not find stuff for twenty baskets, he scoured the country side and filled at least two baskets, and sold them. There were times when the harvest was so rich that he could hardly accept a quarter of the grain that was offered; when it seemed a fools’ business to be selling rice. If you sold rice all day night you could not hope for a profit of even Rs.50 at the end of the month. They called it depression in the trade.
