NEW DELHI -- On a scorching Saturday afternoon, tea seller Laxman Rao sits on the sidewalk of a busy road in New Delhi with two pots of chai boiling on a stove in front of him. But what catches the eyes of people walking by is the stack of books beside him.
As a few stopped by and picked up the books, Rao, 71, proudly introduced himself as the author.
