Wall Mart


This is a shop in Ooty (Tamil Nadu, India) that sells everything. Grocery, confectionery, blades, razor, bucket, broom...everything. It's really a hole-in-the-wall, perhaps run by the whole family taking turns at managing it different times of the day. Ever since I found this photo, it has taken a strong hold of my imagination, and encouraged me to start this blog.

Imagine, taking the window seat - like maybe the owners of this shop - and watching different things happen to different people.

No, this blog is not about to become an insipid, 'watch the world go past you' sort of mish-mash, but this 'wall mart' is emblematic of the perspectives that I will offer on people, places, happenings, non-happenings, ordinary, and extraordinary.
