On a winter evening, a groundnut vendor on the streets of Dehradun, keeps himself warm with his little handy fireplace and also uses the same to roast the groundnuts before handing it over to his customers... when I clicked this picture, he was humming a folk song. I asked him how does he find his job and his instant response was that he loves it... I was so glad to have come across him that evening and to have had that conversation with him. There was immense positive energy around him.
This ofcourse takes me back to those school days where seasons just used to come and go without getting noticed much. Winters, at one point, meant to be made for groundnuts and Gajakk (crushed peanuts combined with jaggery, in form of a candy). Friends used to gather around the roadside vendor and gossip all evening.
ReplyDeleteNice picture!
Very true Krish,... gajjak was an integral part of the winters... you put together a fine description of those days!
