My World Tuesday- Soft Toys on the Pavement of Bangalore

Posted on June 1, 2010

I was in Bangalore for a week (also known as the IT hub of India) and went to the local market called Jayanagar. Pavements of such markets are full of vendors selling their stuff. This heap of soft toys were also there.

Along with the Bikes!

I changed the angle of the camera to get the motorbikes surrounding the soft toys. They do seem to be a bit incongruous.

Finally, this was the young seller of the toys, he was with his family and told us it is because of the summer vacations he is helping his family to sell the toys, otherwise he goes to school.

    most kids love stuffed toys–i even know some adults who collect this stuff! i’ve seen a lot of plush toys in the local market and they’re from China.
