Hyderabadi Haats

This one is quite hilarious, if you have not been to a Haat before you will really enjoy this one.

Today morning when I woke up I was feeling very dull so thought of having a morning walk in fresh air, although I know the freshness is something full of dust in the area I stay, but still just to give some exercise to my legs :)

So I got ready and was walking towards a famous lake near our place which is actually not there (I mean there is no lake just a ditch where the lake fills up in rainy season) but the road is smoother than other ones.To my surprise there was a haat besides the lake in the morning and lot of crowd around the place.

I remembered, its Sunday and so the Haat..Ok so what next, I thought of checking whats in there.These Haats (five six tents supported by temporary bamboo sticks) had mostly clothes and leather items (bags, purses and belts etc) but one of them was a amusing one.
This one was nicely ddecorated with some rajasthani type of sheet around it and was decorated with pots having different types of herbs in those.

There was a woman sitting inside the Haat with typical rajasthani wear (ghaghra choli) and was shouting at peak voice "Mirgi waali, khaasi waali, dume waali booti lelo, ek booti 30 rupaye mein"
I had never seen a Haat selling herbs so out of curiosity showed some interest in this Haat and the lady immediately recognized my expression."Babujee ye booti seedhe himalaye se leke aate hain, aap bas ek baar leke dekho aur aaapki takleef hamesha ke liye agar door na ho to waapis de jaana.Hum har hafte yahan beth te hain" The moment she said Himalaya I gave a smile and started walking away but no this lady was a killer... "Sahabjee hamare paas shaadi waali bhi booti hai aapko ya aapke saath waale kisi ko agar shaadi ke baad koi pareshaani ho rahi ho to leke jaa sakte ho.." to this I smiled and said 'mein shaadi shuda nahi hoon'.. then she kept on saying something and I ignored and walked away.
I had not gone even 1 minute far a girl came running behind me and gave a herb pot.I turned back and that lady was shouting khaasi waali booti hai... I laughed and remembered I had coughed once during the chat, I smiled and gave that girl 30 rupees and walked back to my home..I have kept the pot outside my house and will water everyday.

Now you know how these ppl are the best sales person :)
