"Where are you from? " he asked me in English. I, who was giving my questionnaires to my local guide cum translator to ask this guy selling nuts and cereals at #bissamcuttack market, could do nothing but stare. That's Prahalad, a retired school master who comes to the sell his produce at this weekly haat. Reason for coming even though he gets an impressive pension, well, he just doesn't like sitting idle! His wife goes to the #chatikona market on Wednesdays 😄 #memorycarver #carving_memories #traveltales #travelblogger #indiantravelgram #indiantravelblogger #bloggersofinstagram #bloggercommunity #tellyourstory #travellersnotebook #lovetotravel #nomadlife #orissatourism #odisha #indianculture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh29bNg0k5/?igshid=ja8mywb47aj8

Of the 6 weekly markets I visited this was one place, #chatikona , where got to see a girl, bag strapped, in school uniform... Market days, I was told, are mostly the days when kids bunk their school hours and come help out their parents, not just in setting up stalls but also by taking care of their younger siblings. #orissadiaries #orissatourism #photowalk #memorycarver #carving_memories #indiantravelblogger #photoblog #bloggercommunity #bloggersofinstagram #streetstyle #kidsofindia #girlchild #girlchildeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/BuBwTHdAhzf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ji1ym7dteyh7
