Not only the tea shop, but the local sweet shops and photocopy shops were also seeing an increase in sales. Even the locals have gotten accustomed to the new arrivals with their large cell phones and fancy clothes. The locals, to their credit, have been as co-operative as the students could ask for. Help with directions, requirements of rations and other demands have been met with gloriously by the ‘Jangipurians’.
Also, frequent visits to Raghunathgunj and the football match against the local veterans have created a great deal of goodwill among the locals regarding the students of the ‘Rice-Mill Institute’. If twenty students, can generated such a stir among the people of Jangipur, we at MDI wonder, how the place would look in five years after the Food Park and other industries within the vicinity took off. Maybe our beloved tea shop owner would be expanding to make a chain of restaurants someday. Who knows? He has a bunch of twenty managers at his disposal to help him in such ventures.
