Photo Blog - Dry on Wheels!

Bengaluru is city of hustle. People barely have time for anything extra. With available time, people tend to optimize parallel tasks as much as possible. People have meetings, lunch amidst the stubborn traffic. Here is one such case of "Drive on wheels" and "Dry on wheels".


Look at the taxi driver! He is drying the towels in-flight. That's smart or perhaps inevitable way of drying clothes for taxi drivers. When Bengaluru weather turns gloomy and chilly or when drivers don't have bandwidth, this is the way to dry their clothes. The dry air, dries the clothes in-flight, faster than the Taxis need to be clean on every trip. Be it rainy times when car turns ruddy or dry times when dust & pollutants spread on the car, there is every occasion the cleaning needs to be done regularly with wet cloth. Hence there is no room for drying for next iteration. This is the makeshift drying setup taxi drivers have found amidst busy life. Something interesting but not unusual!

Mithai Array

This is the line of confectionary I saw while shopping for ice-cream in Southadka temple. They were aesthetically placed which tempted me to snap an angle. I term it as an "Array of Mithai"! Mithai means confectionaries in local language. Mostly they comprise of plain sugar candy, groundnut wrapped in sugar candy, Jeera wrapped in sugar candy and other variants. They are packed with multiple colours too for which ingredients may not be natural but enough for kids to pester parents :-). These were cheap confectionaries we enjoyed during childhood days. Even though these are scene as cheaper and unhealthier confectionaries in contemporary age, they relive our childhood moments for sure. Those colourful candies with multiform  shapes were the most affordable and attractive option during our childhood.
