I recently discovered My World Tuesday. And I decided I too wish to take part.
In Gurgaon (quite close to New Delhi, India) summers are quite harsh, the mercury has already touched 46 degree Celsius. At the onset on summer you will find vendors sitting on the road side stocking water melons and tender coconuts filled with delicious water.
This Saturday I went to give my car for servicing. While coming back I decided to stop by the roadside and buy a water melon. We do not buy the ones that have been cut because they will gather a lot of dust and quite possibly cause illness. But buy a whole one and chances are things would be fine. And of course I polished off the water off a tender coconut. And that is quite safe as nature has packaged it quite well!

but they do usually carry diseases if kept in open and cut
Ramesh I can’t say you take bad photos all the time! But honestly flowers look pretty irrespective of who clicked them! 😀
Sylvia, I usually click pictures around my city but then I am at loss of what to do with them, so this gives me the perfect opportunity to show them around!
Doli we like putting rock salt on it and yes cold is better.
Tarun, yes so I buy uncut ones.
my mouth waters when i see these melons….have yet to eat one this season! at present we are enjoying mangoes here 🙂
Ah mangoes, I like them a lot but they don’t seem to be out in numbers here yet Anu.
Here in my town also road sides are heaped with melons , nice red and juicy ones. I also don’t buy the cut slices. It comes fortified with dust:)
Same story here Chitra.
