Every Sunday afternoon, this riverfront bazaar changes from it's usual sedate Sunday morning-self into a crowded thorough-fare of merchants and stalls who are selling all that you can imagine. And with that arrive the many people - young and old - who come to enjoy the sights and sounds of what's going on.
On this particular Sunday I noticed a little bit of everything. Antique furniture, second-hand clothing, paintings, records, gramophones, war paraphernalia and vintage fashion magazines. The antique, the odd and the downright obscure. All available for a price. 
Now for the 'art of the deal'. Haggling over the price in India is a tradition as old as the country itself. More often than not you'll barter back and forth, up and down and in the end, save enough to make Donald Trump proud. The vintage bronze jewelry was of particular interest to us and my friends and I scored pairs of antique kangans (bangles) for Rs.50 each! 
When I revisit, I'd like to catch up on more of the mini-stories scattered around the bazaar. Every character was intriguing. Every captivating sight/sound had an enchanting tale to go with it. I may do this with photography, I may do this with videos. Either way, stay tuned! :)
