Daily Adventures
Its one kind of an adventure, venturing out into the market (farmers market) to buy your fresh vegetables. Of course, the bhaajiwalas (who occupy an entire street) a couple of minutes from my house, are NOT farmers themselves, but are middlemen with access to sufficient transport, with which they bring in produce from the surroundings.
Its Monsoon time here in Mumbai and the streets are full of water and mud and other unimaginable things, so its very important to wear closed shoes and skirts – sarees and pants are often full of kicked up mud and road-dirt.
Reminded me of the time we visited the farmers market in Torino – its an adventure not only to buy your daily supply of vegetables, but an adventure to understand cultures, people, society, fashion – there is just so much you can do. Grrrreat place for photography lovers, because there’s always something happening!
