Thanks...A very well thought and well pictured blog! Thanks to your baba for so much effort! I went to India last month and inspite of getting many chances to go to supermarkets I deliberately went to our town haat and loved it allover again, the colors, noise, freshness and the sellers. Supermarkets can never have the same charm. Hopefully in the run to be a developed country India will retain its colorfull Haats and sabjimandis at least like the Farmer's market of the west!The Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719208096381902361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-25238071724115604142010-02-11T02:25:02.316-05:002010-02-11T02:25:02.316-05:00Lovely post.

I have come out of it many times with a "squishy" tomato sticking to my shoes. <br /><br />I have always liked "haats". Even in Delhi we had the Friday/ Thursday haat which though had its more modern/commercial charms still maintained that earthiness of the haat.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! I am almost tempted to go to a Farmers' Market this weekend. :-) But darn this winter!!PreeOccupiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11976093401508848605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-23091031571133013822010-02-08T04:27:52.986-05:002010-02-08T04:27:52.986-05:00I appreciate these markets only now, never found t...I appreciate these markets only now, never found them interesting as a kid!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338468510575659800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-33753081223790058052010-02-08T03:45:40.116-05:002010-02-08T03:45:40.116-05:00Wow, what beautiful pictures!
