Weekend Snapshot: Train Travel

This weekend we travel by train to granny's house (my mom's place) which my son calls 'Nani Ghar' and looks forward to meeting his grandparents. I have always been fond of travelling by train, and now my little preschooler does too. Our journey by train is about one and half hour.

Train journey to us means watching people get in and get out of the train and learning names of stations, observing hawkers call out loudly to sell their wares, some shopping and lots of skywatch through the train window. Also, we look forward to the bhel wala selling yummy bhel for Rs.5 a packet.
We both carry our own cameras, mine a Sony Cybershot and his, a toy camera.
As I click photographs, he imitates me and looks for an angle to take his shot
;-) and pretends he got a cool shot.
I make sure we are not travelling during peak hours and having fun.

Have a great weekend and lots of fun.

My Vegetable Vendor

Vegetable Vendor

While I was looking for green peas and carrots at the 4 Bunglow market, this vegetable vendor requested me to photograph him and his merchandise too. It seemed as if he felt left out when I took photos of carrots, apples and green peas in the same row of stalls.

Plants For Your Home

Its end of summer time here, and you get to see many such vendors selling a variety of plants (indoor and outdoor) on the carts. Mumbai has experienced rain showers in the last few days and yesterday too. The plants grow well in the monsoon, and so many people buy these small plants just before the monsoon.

The Garland Vendor

This woman is selling flower garlands at Seven Bunglows area in Andheri. The flower garlands are used for worship and many women also use them to adorn their hair.
