Great Post .
. . . I think I would like them if it weren’t for the cardamon . . .
Those cakes look yummy, and I like cardamom! :)
Excellent photo, Joshi :-)
such a great ambiance in this shot… love the subdued tones with only the yellow popping out…
Great work !
I want to eat them now…
I feel hot and humid and my ams ache just looking at the volume on that tray. Fantastic composition.
Nice frame!
Mein erster Gedanke war: Hoffentlich hält der Bäcker das Blech in der Balance, ohne das einer dieser appetitlichen Kuchen herunterfällt!
Ein wunderbares Foto “aus dem richtigen Leben”, authentisch, ungekünstelt und real.
Ich mag sowas.

Here again, after a long break.
Your photos, or the last ones, are so great as usual.
Hugs
Somehow you made this pic surreal.
Merwan is an icon in Mumbai. The worker looks like he is thinking….in how many minutes will this tray empty, making me go for another load?
Superb photo Joshi

He carries the heat of the kitchen with great strength.

I’m so loving browsing all your lovely photos of everyday things that have passed and reading the stories that accompany them. Thank you for taking the time to share the images and the beautiful stories behind them all. It really IS like we are there with you. It reminds me of Tolkien’s quote “I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay… small acts of kindness and love”.
thank you so much, most of these everyday things are so extraordinary to me :)
