“Kabuliwallah” opens with the narrator describing his five-year-old daughter, Mini. She “can’t stop talking for a minute” and is frequently scolded by her mother for it. The narrator, on the other hand, thinks that it’s “unnatural” when Mini is quiet, and so he spends a lot of time talking to her and answering her many questions. One morning, Mini chats with her father while he’s working on an adventure novel. She looks out the window and spots a Kabuliwallah named Rahamat and starts calling to him. However, when he comes over, Mini runs into another room, convinced that his large bags are full of children, not goods.
