Sun is shining and watermelon times are here 😁 Bacche lok khup fruits khao aur bharpur Pani piyo.
While cutting this, I remembered our fruitwallah from Sion. He was a fixture there at the corner of our building throughout my childhood. He was tall, broad, always had a smile on his face and why I remember him distinctly is his belly was as big as the watermelons he sold 😁 Kaka was the fruit buying in charge and me and my sister went along bcos kaka always told him to cut a piece and give sample before buying so free kalingad tasting ke liye hum bhi jaate the... I continue to buy my sabjis and fruits and even kirana saman from local vendors and often chat with them rather than through the many apps (unless emergency). Just last Sunday as I strolled across our market, I was so happy when the steel store uncle came out to chat with us, the medical wallah said hi though we didn't get into his shop, the sabjiwala showed us his daughter's pics and the fruitwallah himself chose the best produce for us. But alas he had a nice flat tummy 😅
