Sitting outside his small house at Nawalpur, Bhonu proudly talks about how his isn’t ready to retire yet: “I have to take care of my business, you see. I have always earned my living and there’s no reason for me to stop now.” A great-grandfather, Bhonu still remembers how he was taught the intricacies of carpet-making by his father. “I remember my father would hit me when I made mistakes. But you can’t do it with children today – I taught my sons about the craft with a lot of patience,” he says. His five sons and one grandson are also involved in the craft and are commissioned work by OBEETEE. The family has been associated with the company for three generations and Bhonu expresses his gratitude for the work and support the company has given him in all these years. Posing happily for pictures, Bhonu proudly talks about how he has interacted with several customers from western countries and been interviewed for documentary "cinema", he giggles. He loves to work with bright colors and traditional motifs of Persian carpets. His wife and daughters-in-law take care of home and hearth as well as the cows and buffaloes that the family owns. “Do come next time and I’ll ask them to make you fresh pedas (sweets made of milk). They’re my favorite, too,” says Bhonu, showing the typical spirit of hospitality of the people here. Witnessing the knotted fingers lovingly create carpets is a bonus.
