Chalai market, 12:34

 
 

We have come to the big outdoor market area in Trivandrum to buy materials for the women in DOP to use in their craft work.

Irma has gone into Star Traders to look through a vast assortment of beads and I have opted to wait outside and observe the passing parade. I watch as rickshaws and motorbikes thread in and out of the throng of people in this small alley.

Later I will watch an unfeasibly large truck reverse to a few metres from me. 16 men will appear from nowhere, unloading it and carrying big boxes on their heads to the shops all around.
