Cycle-powered knife sharpener caught in action - Sparks flying off the grindstone, in Maharashtra

From the archive record

A masked toiler waits for customers near a busy roadside in Murud, Maharashtra. He demonstrates the working of this innovative and efficient way of sharpening knives in lesser times. Indian jugaad or ingenuity at its best! The peddling of the cycle is connected with some kind of a pulley with the grindstone in between the seat and the handlebars of the cycle. The cycle is used to power the movement of the grindstone and creating friction for the metal to be sharpened. These peddlers are sometimes spotted in urban areas near crowded market places.
