Asking about wire brushes, plaster and hard-wearing bin bags in the local hardware shop, I am helped by a man with rectangular spectacles and a string necklace. He is wearing a blue shirt, cargo shorts and white trainers. He suggests that I come back tomorrow if I want more informed advice.
On my way out, I ask my question. 'In Indian it means something to do with being Godlike', he says. I say that it sounds like a good name to have been given. 'I don't like it', he says. 'People say that it does not go with me but I have not been bothered to change it'.
