Truck from village to city


O jatt nikla gaddi leke. . Miniature truck. What better toy to expect in a mela at Punjab. Word 'truck' often brings to memory a highway, a dhaba, happy go lucky sardarji performing bhangra(punjabi folk dance), chicken tangadi (leg piece) and urad chana dal popularly known as dhaba wali dal. These all images rotate in a halo of my mind. I liked the toy very much and more than that the humbleness of the street vendor. He allowed me to click it. He was feeling very proud when the truck was being clicked as if his son is being promoted to some grade officer. A stark difference in city and village was noticed. A street vendor in metro might have recalled all my blood relations as I am wasting his time in clicking it and not purchasing anything. His apprehensions and weird behaviour is justified to villainous high costs of city. The one at village is content and cool. He has nothing as too big to compete as compared to the urban counterpart. Sometimes development seems like irritating and undeveloped or no development seems so peaceful and soothing. . #truck #travel #travelphotography #miniature #automobilephotography #autophotography #vehiclephotography #village #rural #city #urban #development #underdeveloped #shankar #punjab #lonelyplanetindia #_soi #delhi_igers #india_igers #india #streetsofindia #yin #yin_india #storiesofindia #jalandhar
