market
A market place is the place spread out in a specific area, where a variety of goods of daily requirements are available for purchase by customers. There are an umpteen number of markets all they catering to the daily requirements of the public, and they are placed close to residential areas for the convenience of the customers.
I had heard a lot about a market called Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi but had never seen it. Once this year, in the month of October, on the occasion of my sister's marriage, when my mother was going to Chandni Chowk for shopping I insisted that I would also like to accompany her. My mother and even my sister tried their best to dissuade me from going but, I insisted.
They even told me that there would be too much crowd and that a child of my size may get suffocated there. However, I heard none of their comments and pleas but insisted on accompanying them. We started on our journey from Vasant Kunj and even when we were just half way through, my patience gave way as, the distance was forbidding.
Nothing could be done in the matter now, and I had to keep quiet as, I had myself put the suggestion and locked a noose round my neck. After about one and a half hours on the road we finally reached the much talked of market - Chandni Chowk - the biggest and oldest market of Delhi.
What I saw in this market in the first place was a sea of men rushing up and down everywhere on all the roads. It appeared as though all the people were just rushing to some very important mission to and fro on the roads. The sight of the crowd the one of the like I had never seen before just frightened me out of my wits, and, I already started wondering why I opted to come here. As we proceeded towards the shops yes, I was really impressed. There, all, yes all items of consumer needs could be seen in plenty but all the shops were just too crowded.
Since we had gone there for shopping for my sister marriage we also had to wade through the crowd and do our work. First,

    The common apartment buildings in Delhi thrive on the past like caste systems based on the structure of the floors within the apartment. Balram describes his job, as a servant is to drive his masters around and then when they return to the buildings clean the apartment or do anything for his masters waiting for the master to tell him to leave until the morning. When Balram is done with work he goes downstairs to the servants’ quarters in the basement, which is traditional to have in apartment buildings because all residential buildings or homes are built with quarters to house their servants. These living arrangements are a place of “rest, sleep, and wait. When our masters wanted us an electric bell began to ring throughout the quarters…I swept the floor, tied the mosquito net to four nails on the wall, and went to sleep. The wall was covered with cockroaches,”(108-110). While their masters lived in beautiful, cleanly…

The glare of the light at the metro station was very delighting . My brother inexorably went here and there doing all kinds of research from check in area to metro train.My father bought ticket for all of us.Check in was a tiring thing but at last we were sitting majestically in the metro train.

    The narrator uses tone and an extended metaphor in developing the idea that the community’s thrive in drama and gossip would be a cause of concern for those who wouldn’t be interested to do so. ‘The town made most of the drama.’ this opening statement introduces the reader to the fact the community was ever engulfed in drama and passing on the gossip of the day. Initially this would seem as a simple and honest description of the residents of the area; however, the narrator later on expresses the extent to which the residents have been taken over by this habitual chattering. ‘.. An old orchard that had once borne enough fruit for it to be shipped to and sold in New Delhi. But it had been abandoned for many years now, the fruit acquiring the tang of wilderness, the branches growing into each other.’ This statement encompasses appropriate diction proving that the newly found characteristic of gossip riddling in the community had taken the forefront of the community overhauling their past economic activities that defined their society and economy. The use of the phrases ‘tang of…

    It’s dusk outside: the normally bright, azure sky has turned the colour of charcoal, peppered with specs of iridescent silver, and the clearly cheap, and discoloured old lanterns littering the dusty surroundings of the ancient Bagajor market, give off a soft, and gentle dappled glow to the busy, cobbled streets below. A myriad of spices adorn a bright and overflowing market stall giving off a sweet redolent smell. People continue to bustle around the busy marketplace, browsing through an assortment of vibrantly coloured stalls, and occasionally buying an item that catches their eye. There is a cacophony of sounds; it’s a combination of tourists twittering about the bargains they’ve managed to negotiate, and of stall owners noisily bartering the last of their greatly overpriced stock to unsuspecting passersby.…
