My favourite character in "Village by the sea"

My favorite character in the story Village by the Sea is Hari. Hari is a very hardworking and responsible person. This could be seen when Hari's father was permanently drunk and his mother became ill, he took over the responsibility of providing for his family. Hari and his sister had to take care of the family. As he knew that working in the fields and bringing down coconuts to sell was not enough, Hari was on a constant lookout for better job to improve himself. For example, when he heard that a factory was going to be built, he thought about getting a job there. When he heard that there were job opportunities in Bombay, he decided to go there to look for a better job. He was always willing to learn more and even learnt how to mend watches from Mr Panwallah when he was at Bombay. Hari also had entrepreneurship and this could be seen when Hari planned to set up a poultry farm as well as a watch mending shop with the money he earned in Bombay.
