Using the hot sand this peanut man cooks the peanuts and serves hot outside the metro station on CMH road, a good exit point positioning makes good sale as most of the travellers prefer this quick munch....

Bus Stop!

The routines are back, the colours have changed in last few months but the volvos continue to be the favourite connectivity option for many!

Commercialization continues to take toll on the trees, over last few months/years trees continue to get culled for parking and visibility of the top end showrooms mushrooming on 100ft road, there are small saplings being planted to showcase the balance already lost!!

Most of the households in the city are busy worshipping lord Ganesha to seek his blessings durign the festivities....here is BDP wishing all patrons a happy Ganesha festival!!

The Arrival...

The festivities have begin and lords have arrived, these idols kept on the roadside will soon be taken to homes or pandals by the devotees. The arrival of lord Ganesha is auspicious and divine as always.  from the environmental aspects there is more and more awareness being created to make idols from clay and not to use Plaster of Paris. i.e. POP which does not get diluted after immersion in the city lakes...

ICE GOLA

This is the fascination since childhood for many, i do remember how mad we used to get back in the school days with manually made ice golas, now the modern tools make them in the mall corridors and amazing new flavours keep them as desirable as they can for the taste buds!!

The Ride...

Friends are forever, its all about sharing and caring. This ride does showcase that the rider carries his friend and friend carries his bag while both balance their friendship on the bicycle...

 

Boil Corn anyone?

A healthy option for hunger cramps or just a munch, the boiled corn on the cart remains choice for many! 

Flowers for Sale..

Selling Colours to the divine, the flower sellers cart on the corner and day long wait for customers a routine for year for many!!

The Choice...

The range and colors of desires, the trends keep changing as the styles,displays keep the shoppers hopeful and tasteful!!

Street Bargains..

 

Street bargains are win win for both buyer and seller, the convenience and ease at which the transactions happen are wortha try, even if you are busy on a call!!

Drop off to the school, a daily routine for many that provides a great opportunity for dialouge too...

Street Coffee...

 !

Hot Coffee sells fast, the need catered by the bike mounted coffee vending. A quick and easy way to start own business on the city streets! 

Under the hood...

Under the Ulsoor metro station the traffic struggles to pave way for a crossing, the roads is yet to normalize and so does the crowd!!

Road Crossing...

Some say it is an art and few say it a need, road crossing in the busy street remains a challenging routine for many pedestrians across the city!

Kids Play!!

A simple and age old game, an old tyre and a wooden stick all that needs to start a play, this kid seems to enjoy this drive and plays along!!

Essentials...

Essential part of the cooking the garlic and onions are the key ingredients of indian cooking thus continues to be on most fo the carts in the market!! 

Parking ...

Parking on the roadside seems to be option for many as the houses constructed a decade ago never planned or thought of more than one car per family, with current situation each household now commonly holds more thn one car thus the second car has to wait outside the designated parking!!

Selling Fruits...
