In search of where the vendors who were selling sweets to the children through the bars of the iron fence were coming from, I went out of the gates of IGNCA Lawns and started following one of the men as he pushed his cart up the street. A block away, we reached the corner of a wide, dusty road.
Sellers of ice cream, nuts, bracelets, and breads were lined all the way up...
and down the street.
Many of the young men called to me asking where I came from. A young man selling ice cream with his father. A couple of friends. One young man offering tea, and another with a basket of crisps.
How many stories they must have! If only there was time time to sit down over tea and listen...
