Incredible India - A warm winter evening


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.

Incredible India - Winters and groundnuts



It's such a unique relation of groundnuts and winters.... India has several seasonal foods; Though times have changed now and you do get everything round the year but there is a different charm of waiting for a food and a season... Groundnuts used to be associated with winters as the 'taaseer'(nature) of this food is to increase the heat within your system.... These are sold at the streets with a mint and coriander salsa  - extremely affordable and a natural snack without any preservatives :)
