Indian Railway - A Quick Post on #MarketFriday

in #marketfriday4 years ago

When one is travelling it is hard to make a post on anything. But suddenly a thought strike me to share some view of Indian Railway Platform. As my train stopped in one station with a 20 min of stoppage. Better enough to make a post on #marketfriday

Denise (i.e @dswigle) hope you gonna enjoy this with some quick shots in between my halt at the station. Generally, it is assumed that platform is busy with people, but in India, one might come across many vendors selling many stuffs, from food item, to playing toys to artificial jewellery. But I have only few to share

After staying inside train for more than 12 hours, We get to get down at a junction, and it was good place to have a sudden break from long rail lag. On a chilly winter, one could not notice as it pass through very rapidly. We have been waiting to get down at some point to stretch our leg. And outside it was misty all over

As soon as we reached to junction, where even rail engine needs some time to recover, we get down to get some fresh morning air. Luckily at front of my train coach gate, I am greeted by a fresh fruit vendor who was standing selling some fresh Apple, Orange & Guava, but a bit costlier than usual prices. Obviously surrounded by people to buy.

Look what , I have at first in a chilly weather.

A little distant from the fruit vendor, I found an interesting item to eat. The vendor is selling peanut mixes with chopped chilli, onion, coriander and lemon. A very spicy cum good snack for a chilly winter.

The table on which these were kep was nicely arranged with each item perfectly set to give a good look. Afterall look matter to pull customer, so does to this peanut vendor. It looks quite colourful from a distant.

The vendor selling them in a paper plate. Anyhow, our train started and we boarded it again to cover another 5 hrs to make it to our place. Thank god for the little break, and being a morning time now we can expect some local vendors boarding the train too and keep calling for their item to sell, lik a tea seller, which happen to be a much sought thing to buy in winter.

Now we have more offer to buy inside the train too. There were multiple vendors boarded and selling the item by passing through each coaches internally. So after tea, we get some boiled grams too.

Same way as we get the peanuts. A little later, pop corn comes too in a big sack packed in plastic. I bought one and it was worth for the money. At least we are getting everything for entertainment.

One thing is for sure, of you been to India , you able to get all possible chance to get entertained. Either it be normal market place or while travelling in a train. Even while I am travelling just now, i thought to put up the post whatever came across to me. Be it on station platform or be it inside the train. The hawkers and sellers were everywhere.

Anyhow still more time to go for my station. I think it's time to sleep, after making a post on #marketfriday for @dswigle.

How very cool this is!!! I would love to have hawkers on our trains. I just went on a long journey o 23 hours in November. It was the first time I had gone that far without taking a plane, but, it was very enjoyable and I was at the mercy of the train car that serves food.

Nice that you had time to go out and stretch your legs and that meal looked very nice and nutritious too. The tea would have been my favorite. I love a nice cup of tea in the afternoon. :) Especially in the winter!

Thank you for the joy of seeing a very different #MarketFriday, and very enjoyable!

#MarketFriday loves you!

In India, flights are bit costelier, so many people love to travel via train. Unless there is no major emergencies. Even my journey from New Delhi to my native took 23 hours and we remain inside the train except once reached some major station.
These hawkers were very common who keep coming with different snack item making the journey very memorable and tastier.....hope you could ride one of them sooner.🙏
