Bazaar

I really had an amazing experience of this diwali festival. My friends were coming to police ground, Thane to pick me up from Mumbai Solapur highway to drive down to home town Ahemdabad. Till Thane station I traveled by Mumbai local (one more chapter), after reaching there I asked for the Police ground but every time a new answer, its our culture, we never let you go empty hand, no matter what you take or ask for. Finally someone suggested to have a walk till that ground because it was a festival time so crazy rush.

A typical local Indian market scene, hawkers covering half of road, our holly, arrogant, mythological mums and dads (whom Sashi Tharoor also respect these days) asking for democracy just in middle of everything, shopkeepers shouting for customers, women shouting for her choices and then for negotiating, grabbing her cute, frustrated, blank faced, surprised, confused little ones, who just questioning their existence and few meters ahead a mango but a brave man giving his best to avoid this all. In between all this from some where you will heard a sweet, though high pitch laughs of gang of girls, no matter how humid and suffocating the place could, they will have some excuse to laugh at! Girls and Dalai Lama they always motivates me to smile no matter in which state you are! Getting all the lusty eye balls from every possible angles. One of them was wearing a long t shirt and just at her bums the one word answer was written, HOPE! Must say, a functionally well designed t shirt! Just above all this was political threats of democracy in form of bow and arrows targeting the manoos, tigers on hunt of bhaiyas, clocks clicking for BCCI, raising finger (index but equivalent to middle one), a palm about to slap, a lotus who wrote us about partition, then felt the same and many other hoardings of just released new age satyagrahi with gold in contrast. It was a state assembly election time also. To walk their was almost like playing snake and ladders and cherry on top was when a player weighs 50 kilos with bags on either side of his shoulders.
