These are a group of mendicants who come to Muslim areas in the wee hours of the morning , shout to wake you up , so you can start your morning fast, and begin your Sairi.
And each one has his unique style of waking you up, my most endearing was an old man who came with a dhabli and sang
Ramzan Mubaral Aaya
Ramzan Mubarak aaya
I dont remember the words , and he sonorously woke me up , lyrically speaking.
He came each Thursday morning to collect his baksheesh, I have never seen him since.And the person in the picture does the same job,, knocking at houses and with the dogs chasing them it is quite a pandemonium.And I am breaking my fast all alone as I write this , wife is at home and some of Asifs friends have come to break fast together and so she will be  busy serving and taking care of the kitchen.
I had gone home slept and came back to the shop.
