If you have walked the roads of Dadar and locations nearby, you would pass many old souls with two baskets full of vegetables loaded on a balance on their shoulders cheerfully. You will usually spot them in typical half-pants and a Gandhi topi as they cheerfully carry the heavy loads carefully maintaining their stability, pace in a jolly balancing act. And as an ode to this early set of inhabitants of Mumbai City, a statue of the evergreen vegetable vendor can be seen just opposite Plaza Theatre at Dadar, Mumbai.
P.S.: A sad update…this evening a high-intensity bomb blast rocked the Kabutarkhana area at Dadar one of three of its kind, killing 8 people at last count. The place is quite close to my work place and at 7.10 pm IST, it is a bustling market area. Please pray for the souls of those deceased, even though me and my friends are safe, it pains me to think of what would have happened.

We are all safe but its very overwhelming…the place is barely a couple of kms away and i had plans of working late…maybe that’s why overreacting!
