Kolkata Barber Snips a Win

Kolkata, West Bengal – For 36-year-old Rajiv Sen, life usually revolves around his tiny barber shop in North Kolkata. His days begin before sunrise, sweeping the floor, boiling tea, and setting up his chairs for the long line of customers that drift in from morning until late evening. By the time he shuts the shop at 9 PM, Rajiv’s back aches, his fingers are cramped, and all he wants is a quiet meal with his family before bed.
How Rajiv started…
But one Tuesday night was different. With no late customers and only the drone of his old TV for company, Rajiv sat down with his phone and opened up Ganesha Fortune, a game he had noticed earlier.
I pray to Ganesha every morning before I open my shop. When I saw the name of the game, I thought maybe Ganesha will bless me today…
Rajiv’s Winning Moment
Rajiv started playing casually, not expecting much. Then, out of nowhere, one spin changed everything. His balance shot up, the screen filled with celebration, and he realized he had just landed a win far bigger than he ever imagined.
I froze. The numbers kept climbing—10,000… 50,000… then over a lakh. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
From Scissors to Security
Rajiv has used part of it to repaint his shop, buy new clippers, mirrors, and chairs for his customers, and finally booked a long-delayed family trip to Puri—their first holiday in more than ten years.
“It felt like a blessing. For once, I could give my family something extra, not just the basics.”
