The Corn Street…

Finally, it rained last night and it brought much awaited relief from the heat.

This afternoon, I spent some time at famous “Makaai Gali” – corn street near Law Garden. It was little early for the street to be very live but I could capture some happenings there…

A typical corn seller… The sign says “Fresh Sweet corn – boiled”. Notice the stove and a pot on it? That is to boil the “American” sweet corn. The sign next to the stove says about different varieties of the corn offered by the seller – Spicy Lemon, Spicy Butter, Spicy Cheese, Garlic paste and Green Paste. The corn would be topped with any of these "toppings”…

These carts are usually operated by a family. A mother on left manages the garbage, a younger son catches the customers and elder one prepares the corn. His wife is behind and pops up for the pose below…

At another cart, mother was waiting for the sell. Look how she has wrapped her sari.

And at this cart, the woman is either lost in some thought or watching something happening. Same sari wrapping here too.

And at this cart, the mother was actually blowing the air in the coal furnace to roast the corn. She seems lost in thoughts while working.

A family had come for the corn outing. Look how the kid is laying on the motor cycle. His mother seems to have noticed me. Two friends/colleagues are enjoying the corn as well.

The same cart from the other angle. Its so happening there… While a little kido is getting attention from the seller, seller’s wife is preparing some corn. The motorcycle family is seen from this angle as well and notice an old woman begging there…

Opposite the corn street, this "fresh juice” seller had a visual delight spot for his cart.

You receive a spontaneous smile when you point your long white L lens at such beautiful subject!

But who cares about the camera or even driving when your dear one is calling you?
