Barbers:





There was once a time, when men India had only one beard and haircut style, but today impact of westernisation has transformed frumpy Indian men into stylish hunks. As a result, ultra modern saloons have overshadowed the traditional barbering profession. However, if the social equality is to be considered, this is a good change, as people belonged to the particular community were only suppose to do barbarian, but now there is no such taboo followed.



Knife Sharpeners:





Knife sharpeners are rare to find, but if we rewind back our lives for a decade, it was usual to find them in urban areas and some sharpeners use to wander all over the city yelling about their service. However, now the profession is almost wiped out and they can rarely be found in rural areas too.
