Decked in a grey sweater and blue jeans with his right hand in the pocket and the other on his chin, Nakumatt former Managing Director Atul Shah must have wondered why his world was tumbling down as the green bulldozer roared through one of his seven remaining stores.

If that is how losing one more investment of 40 years of hard work looked like, then Atul, who appeared lost in thought as the demolition raged, wore the face of a man being kicked when he was already on the ground.
