Vegetables- Fruits- Chaos and more


After the week long stock of stored groceries its time for the market to be set once again. Every area in India has its own 'market day' every week, where you get the best bargains, sufficient enough to last the entire  7 days or more. While a few local sellers get their stuff ready and set out their carts , some of them just lay down a old sack with neatly stacked vegetables freshly plucked from their own farms or gardens. Some of them use the Indian weight of measures while some of them who are barely educated carry on the old tradition of selling it in small portions like two hand fulls. In a moments time everything is set and layed out & one would not recognize that its the same road of yesterday.The sellers yell and shout out their best offers & prices. Hundreds of women and men with their cloth carry bags march to the market.  Their eyes and ears have to be sharp as each one sells it cheaper than the other to attract the crowd. What you by for Rs 20 here may be sold for Rs 10 a few steps further. So everyone out there is on their quest to get the best buy. There is so much of noise- traffic and chaos all over and if you are suffering from Agoraphobia this is definitely not the place for you to be. Admist the rush you have to make your way through, just like in a game, dodging and making sure you don't bang into anyone and drop their bags or you'l land up in a tiff. Every seller has his own story and your mind begins to wander, especially when you see the kids with pitiful eyes sitting with their mother to sell a few homegrown vegetables or a old lady who can barely walk and see, selling bananas from her backyard tree. Not forgetting that some women haven't forgotten their roots and even though they have big bungalows and are rich owners, they keep the culture and family tradition alive of selling in the market like a simpleton. So much to look at and so much of vegetables and fruits to buy, a day in a market in India has a experience of its own. Everything gets sold out by mid- noon and people wait for the next week for them to come back again.
