Coming home late nights or getting out early morning, you see a completely different Delhi.
Tonight we saw this gentleman heating milk on the road outside his dairy. The milk will have to cool down in shallow rectangular trays which will take beyond midnight on a hot day like this. Then put the ‘khatai’ to make dahi / yogurt ready for tomorrow morning.
On a parallel road cooking commences early in the morning. At 6 am when we walk by we see men who man the ‘cool water’ carts get ready for the day with a hefty breakfast of Puri bhaji or rajma roti or chana roti.
