A caricature and rhyme from volume two
"O Fisherwoman, you are a mystery/ You bring us the freshest fish, the aroma's for free/ We see you fighting and jostling for space/ In the local train compartment, where you play your ace/When someone errs to pick on you/ You unleash the attack on the noses before they can argue!" goes Abhijeet Kini's rhyme facing his caricature of a Koli fisherwoman, with a veni in her bun and the catch of the day piled up before her in two baskets. A ravenous cat eyeing the mackerel in her hand completes the quintessential snapshot from Mumbai's fish markets.
