Pheriwale is a poem by Sushil Shukla written for young ones and published by Eklavya, Bhopal. The book has very nice illustrations on each page by Nilesh Gehlot. When children see these pictures while reading each verse, they will be able to relate to and understand the poem better. Shukla has written a number of poems, stories and short pieces of prose for children that have been published by Eklavya, Ektara, Pratham, Room to Read, NCERT and UNICEF.
The topic the author has chosen for this poem is an interesting one. With the advent of Super Bazars and Malls, where you can shop for all your requirements, pheriwalas/hawkers are fast disappearing.
