City Market

Every been to a market before?

The bustling sound of street vendors, the chai wala shouting chai chai and running to shops to deliver the much awaited chai, people pursuing you to buy and buy more, cut throat competition and a perfect place to learn and test your marketing skills.

Sunday evening nothing to do and I was off to Bangalore's very own City Market a.k.a. K.R. Market (I never knew that though). City Marketing is operational thought out the day 24 hours and 7 days a week. As early as 4 AM in the morning vendors from all over gather and start stocking their small shops in the market to as late as midnight, these people just keeping going on and on and there is nothing to stop them.

Shops in City market complex are rented out for people to do business. However since the place is extremely crowded, people tend to buy from vendors on footpath outside city market complex, leaving shop owners angry and disheartened.

Well that does not leave the vendors on footpath to take away all. This being illegal, the vendors too pay 50/- for a small 4 x 4 feet place to do business to the authorities.

For some business was good and specially for the people who deal with flowers. This person in particular was having a bash with Marigold!

All said and done and finally I got one shot and which set the tone and true essence of Market.

Money does matter!

This is what happens at City Market at the end of every transaction.
