a voice in the wind

"I am learning to see. I don't know why it is, but everything penetrates more deeply into me and does not stop at the place where until now it always used to finish. I have an inner self of which I was ignorant. Everything goes thither now, what happens there I do not know." - Rainer Maria Rilke

Bustling satti bazaar and its staff(mera nazariya)

In the bustling satti market, u can hear the sound of "
sabjiwallah`s",shouting loudly and with aggression ofcourse "Sabzzzi le lo-o-o !!!" and the respective name of their vegetables, well i m mentioning the one of the most hampy-shampy place of Raipur.Quite strange it is but i love the place ,sometimes i just rush to this place, to admire the chaos there.They use mind blowing language like they call carry bag-parri, and "laali laali pataal lelo mai 2 rupya ma" is the most distinguished one i remember. From my childhood i buy sabji from market,i dont prefer those street sellers at the doorstep with their cycle containing bundles of "jholas", and all their products are upbeaten.My mom send me to market with a "jhola" and a lot of change each for the specified counter.Then i view it as most responsible job, that time i dont know how but there is always a hole in my pant's pocket , so often i have to return home crying to be safe from my mom's anger. well that was in raigarh moving our engine back to satti bazaar, it has every sort of fruits and vegetables.There is a bunch of fruit-sellers at the entrance,i always wonder why they keep sweet tamarind no ones buy that, atleast i havent seen yet. As u move inside u can find the rich sabjiwallahs ,with a stall as big as any levi's store,they too contain all unseasonal sabji. the real market reside at the heart of it. they all sit in their zig zag row.they have the fresh stock of and u sould say that they r the most busiest person over there.the best part comes now bargaining. my mom says "Bargain with them fiercly".actaully bargaining was an act of great individuality for her, as well as a social intercourse. so u can see aunties shouting loudly for 1 or 2 rupya, as if the whole world will crash down if they leave that. in summer the market is full of yellow shades of mango, i love spending summer morning there.The stall of bhaaji waali's are awesome, full of fresh and green spinach,laal bhaji,and there are dozens of bhaaji i even dont remember there name.this para of appreciation is for all thse sabji walli's and walla's out there and also to satti bazaar which is no less than BSE. kudos to you....................
