A few charming scenes from Mumbai that are also charming and contain the warmth of small town life.
In the midst of a traffic jam
A knife-sharpener – using pedal power
Bazaar
Taking a break in the hot afternoon
Kerb side sports
The banana seller – literally in the middle of nowhere.
Mosami (sweet lime) juice maker
Cotton fluffer – a profession that is nearly dead. He walks about the streets announcing his presence with loud shouts and is hired for a day by families to fluff up the cotton in mattresses & pillows to increase the longevity of the mattress.
Kerbside tailor
Kerbside key maker
Pony ride on the street for children ( yes in a residential neighbourhood)
Cobbler with a comfortable waiting arrangement!
The Nau or baraber who comes by and may be hired for shaving service. Hired here by the fruit vendor.
Sugarcane juice vendor
The difference between awe and disgust is simply our own attitude.
