You could hear him before you saw him
One familiar call from outside, and suddenly everyone knew it was time to buy vegetables.
Neighbors gathered around the cart.
One cart stop could bring half the street together — choosing vegetables, chatting, and bargaining side by side.
Choosing every tomato carefully
Fresh tomatoes, crisp bhindi, green chillies... everything had to be just right.
Then came the bargaining
A little back and forth, a few smiles, and finally a price everyone could agree on.

And at the end came the familiar request for a little extra coriander and green chillies.
Then came the tarazu
The old tarazu, the metal weights, and everyone watching until the balance was just right.
