Street vendors do have some real novel ideas
Today I went to a Government Library to take some books. On the way to the Library, I have to cross a Government Hospital for women and children. On the road outside the hospital, there were four to five street shops kept in hand carts. They were selling aprons, handkerchiefs, towels, toys, feeding bottles, tumblers etc., which are all normally a need for a person getting admitted there. These shops turn out to be a great help to many people who come in a hurry without carrying the essentials.These vendors render very good service and for this, they are not charging much also. To put a crown on this, I saw some yellow strings tied with turmeric kept in a big cover along with the other items. Unable to control my curiosity, I asked one of them why they are keeping the mangal sutras. The vendor lady told me that it is helpful to many who come in a hurry as the ladies would have to take off all their ornaments before being taken to the labour room and they would require these threads to tie their Thali (nuptial pendant).
I felt this was really a wonderful idea and was amazed by their business skill.
