Whenever I go to my small town, in everything I internally do comparison and contrast between the metro of Bangalooru and district town Kishanganj. Say, I do that for almost everything not for discussion but think a lot, what makes two places different.
On Puja occasions, we do see fair (mela) type scene, which meant a lot for us in childhood, but now a days from there not many things that we need to buy. In childhood, a small piggy-bank ‘gullak’ meant a lot, when purchased from the mela-vendor. On the edible side, still Puchkas and Jalebi’s I can’t resist to buy and now we do look for hygienic vendors. Pity, this time only 50 Puchka (Golgappas) I did gulped, because my brother-in-law did not give me company for long :p
Balooooooons ЁЯЩВ ( I still do buy some, just to hang on door ЁЯЩВ
Churiyan (Bangles) – Oriental woman’s love…
Mina Bazaar – ( What a contrast to metro designer showrooms : no mannequins, neon lamps and brand names here and its the lifeline of Majority of Indian )
Wow so cheap ! Chat Rs. 5/- , Samosa 2/-
Mud pots and toys
A young man selling artificial flowers ( Now globally people can see his flowers ЁЯЩВ ) ( Look behind there is written on wall “Chhatra Sakti( Student Power) – What a contrast !!
