As soon as I got down from the auto, I saw these flowers hanging from a shop. An old lady was sitting there and she just let me click the picture in peace. As I can load pictures from my mobile, that is what I used today.
Had to make this picture soft focus because it has not come out really well. So I hope the soft focus is hiding some of the flaws!
I for the first time realized that if you look high up towards a coconut tree, you would find the tree having a round symmetrical center! Have you noticed that before?
There was so much stuff inside the shop, much of it related to worship. Made for a colorful picture for sure.
And while you see these pictures, I am actually in Mangalore, I did this as an auto post.
Have a wonderful 2009, and travel more.
*Added Bazaar for Market after the anonymous comment pointed out that it is known as Gandhi Bazaar only.
Hope you didn’t miss Vidhyarthi Bhavan

Where is this Gandhi Market in Bangalore. I never heard about such place in Blore. Are you talking about Gandhi Bazar ???–Bangalorean
Yes I am talking of Gandhi Bazaar. Will edit the post, thanks for your input.
Marvellous photos. Those spices reminded me at the market in Mysore – amazing colours, all neatly sculpted into this conical heaps – and I was too shy to ask permition to make a picture! Ah gee!
Fida, in India it is safe to click things. Even people do not object too much but I also try to ask permission before clicking people, so hardly any portraits at my blog. But this time I was twice asked by people to take their pictures and I gladly did so.
you were very close to my home – just couple of KMs…
You are the second person to say so 😀
I was looking for a particular purple flower in my garden when the pic caught my eye, all covered in purple I just had to get a larger view, a closer view, and when I did I was in awe! Thanks for sharing your visit to the Ghandi Bazaar! Phenominal! Makes me want to go there before I die!
Same, out of respect, in Jamaica, we were told to ask to take fotos beforehand. I did and sometimes not, it didnt seem to bother anyone bc we made friends first. : )
oh, and I loved the close up of the spice berries. I love shots like these, very cultural and textural too! Great to blow up, matt and frame for your wall.That's what Id do!
Moni, many thanks for your wonderful comments. I wonder if you blog?
