But the death of his favourite customer who subscribed to no less than 14 newspapers makes him rethink which was the stronger blow: the pandemic, or the death of Ratan Tata. "He was a very good man, a messiah for the poor," Singh, who delivered newspapers for Tata for nearly two decades, told PTI. When his association with India's favourite industrialist started in 2001, Tata's address was an apartment in Colaba's Bakhtavar building. But the pandemic changed the reading habits of Ratan Tata too. The household stopped taking newspapers, Singh said, adding that Tata started getting only two newspapers which came in a paper bag from the nearby Tata Group-run Taj Mahal Hotel.
