#7

Once a week, in most Delhi localities, a street bazaar is set up. The market is a frenzied hub of activity, which runs late into the evening. The day varies from place to place, but the goods are similar-clothes, jewellery, glassware, utensils, spices, chhole bhature and jalebi stalls. :D 

This week’s market near my locality saw a new entrant though:

The Man Selling Permanent Bubbles

These were bubbles quite like soap bubbles in appearance, except that they were made from a gooey, thicker solution, and had to be pulled off the blowing tube and sealed off. He would loudly advertise these awesome bubbles, gather a crowd and demonstrate, while everyone watched, rapt.

10 rupees for a small tube enough for 20 bubbles.

Also, 

Pastries!
