Anirban, you are so right the stall holder needs to get his "Brillo Pads" out and give the outside of the kettles a good scrub.

It never ceases to amaze me on what a great learning exchange Nikongear is - and not just photography!!!

... India is the country of "jugaad"! 

Ahh, you mean like




So for those of you who haven't Googled some of the terms Anirban used, here's an explanation that I think we can apply to many other aspects of our lives!!

This thread reminds me a bit of one we had for "market stalls"

They are each an excellent opportunity for themes, some challenging light & photographic skills needed, great mixture of subject matter and usually the chance to include people and variety from all around the world.

Couldn't agree more. The more populated they are, the more street photo opportunities.

Thank you John, Armando, Erik for the kind words. 

#25. In Karnataka, at most of the traditional coffee joints (known as "Darshini") there won't be any place to sit down. Pay first, then get your coffee, drink it and leave.



#26.



#27. Queue for coffee and chit-chat after coffee.



#28. Well, there are always exceptions.. You can't stop people from sitting on the window sill. 
P.S: don't miss the shoes.
