RGB Monday

 

A fruit vendor on the street... pushing the tricycle loaded with fruits.

We usually avoid buying fruits or vegetables from these vendors as they sell mostly at overpriced but during these lockdown times where people are advised to stay home these vendors are an easy choice to pull off in front of the house. The government also allowed selling vegetables in mini trucks and they came around the streets with a loud speaker calling people to buy veggies. But for us, having a vegetable shop beneath the house next to us, we don’t need to look after these vehicles (and what they sell isn’t fair enough and good to encourage) and we purchase it fresh daily rather than loading the fridge with veggies (like before pandemic) bought from the market once a week.    


Even though the partial lockdown still exists, the activities on road make feel almost back to normal and the only change was many of them wear masks. But I can’t say all!


 “The WHO says young people are increasingly driving spread of virus”


I believe it's 100% true. I see people on the street and mostly it was the young people coming out without wearing masks. I wonder if they really have any sense or are they alien to earth to have any idea about what's happening around. I believe they knew everything in the smartphone era but still they come out in indifference, thinking only about their healthy self rather than those weak at home. With strong immune power, young people come easily out of corona but who fall prey were the elders with chronic diseases. We all pray for the legend singer SP Balasubramanyam. He seemed to be asymptomatic at first but now fighting for life against Covid but how come we all forget someone like him at our homes whom vulnerable to infectious.


I wish people stay away, stay safe, wear masks and strictly follow the social distance.

Lovely posts and Covid is holding all of us captive yet the younger group seems fearless and inconsiderate ~ Great street photo ^_^

...years ago there was a old Italian man who drove his truck through our neighborhood selling fruits, vegetables and eggs.

That's good the vendors come outside people's houses. Maybe other people buy from him because it's convenient. I agree with you about the younger people not following the protocol for covid. They do the same over here, no masks or social distancing. Our covid cases have increased the last few weeks and there is a town who just got some stricter restrictions for the next two weeks. It will be interesting when kids go back to school. I suspect the cases will increase everywhere. :-(
Have a wonderful new week, Jeevan.

Young people seem to feel that they are invincible. Now that some of our colleges and universities have reopened, some students are partying and carrying on as if the virus does not exist. Hopefully they will wise up soon.

Hello,

When I was little we had a fruit and veggie wagon coming around the neighborhood. There was also an ice cream truck playing music.
Love the wagon photo. Take care and stay safe! Have a great day!

We still have vegetable vendors coming to the residential areas which is very convenient to the housewives. Hopefully, these youngster will understand and wear mask for their own safety.

Street vendors are still very common and they actually do have a purpose here. I sometimes buy from them when I forget a particular herb, spice or veg needed to cook a dish and am too lazy to drive to the stores. Our vendors are quite clean and they do sell very fresh produce at only slightly higher prices.
