My favorite character in Village By The Sea is Hari. He has to take over his father's role as a care-giver and earn money for his family.He has to stop school and work in order to earn money. Life is very tough for him as a twelve year old kid. After many difficulties he faced in his hometown, Thul, he went to Bombay for a better life. With the help of his friends there, Jagu and Mr Panwallah, he was able to earn money more easily than Thul.
He worked very hard there and didn’t have a proper shelter for him. He even have to sleep in the park and the policeman guarded him at night. He is not very used to Bombay as it is an urban area. He is not comfortable with the large amount of cars travelling to and fro every day.
When he felt homesick, Mr Panwallah will comfort him. He even taught Hari the skill of mending watch that gives him an advantage of earning more money in future. After earning enough money to support his family, he came back to his hometown. He planned to run a watch mending shop and own a poultry farm.
