By 6:00 am and latest 6:30 Bangalore now has lots of vegetable vendors blaring their megaphones from a autorixa or women carrying the same ahead of the push cart of vegetables spinach and other household needs. There is a cloth vendor also with a pick up van.
Thank god the garbage collector whistles loudly and is audible from over 500 metres south of our lane . Some days when we miss the collector’s visit my wife dreams of having heard the whistle to rush to the gate.
The coconut vendor used to have a megaphone that sounded Louder than the masjid azzam .
One day I could record the loud noise. Who would dare to ask the vendor to reduce the noise
The best was a lady holding an unobtrusive megaphone ahead of an Rixa but with a male voice. I laughed at the Male sound and female carrier.
This period life has taught innovations in sale of vegetables,fruits and more .
We don’t accept any vendor items and depend on the life saver big basket. Those delivery boys have been trained to ring a bell and leave the items on our door step. We have large covered baskets buckets for leaving our courier and vegetables.
The funny guy was from DTDC who insisted on a signature on his courier delivery sheet . We preferred he took away the parcel of food back . These are old companies who pay the
Delivery boys by no of signatures. This is shocking for me but true .
Beggars are now not visible .Who wants to veg and contract any hitch in life.
Our door bells, door handles, doors and front gate and it’s locks have been thoroughly sanitized many times. Washing of hands sanitizing vegetables tables and home spaces of storage has made us very alert to hygiene.
I collect about 6 trips of 5 litres cans of water form the tap installed in the door front of the home.
Noise safety hygiene clean homes is now a new normal.
Be safe keep home safe
Happy days are close by once the metro opens. Many festivals are around Be vigilant and safe
