A roadside vendor selling healthy fruits and food.

‎

These hardworking individuals earn their livelihood by selling their fruit—often from 2:00 PM until 10:00 PM or even midnight—right on the street where people pass by. Their offerings include a variety of items such as tamarind, lemons, small starfruit, yellow amla (Indian gooseberry), karamcha, olives, capsicum, and the fiery Bombay chili. Despite the challenging circumstances, they manage to support their families through this unique street-side business.

Additionally, vendors stand by the roadside with three-wheeled vans, selling local produce such as special guavas, watermelons, papayas, Malta oranges, and hog plums. Papayas sell for 100 Taka per kilogram and hog plums for 80 Taka. Although they work very hard, they earn their livelihood by selling these fruits. I have always held respect for their honest work.

Even within Dhaka city and its surrounding areas, one can find captivating rural scenes that are truly enchanting; this particular spot, in particular, brings me great joy. Moreover, the sight of charming tin houses and banana trees along the roadside creates a delightful atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed capturing photographs of these lovely scenes while walking by.

This engaging egg vendor prepares the dish by adding special ingredients—such as chickpeas, onions, green chilies, spices, and cucumber—offering portions ranging from 10 to 20 Taka or more. It serves as an excellent option for instant street food. Moreover, the neat polythene covering provides effective protection for the food, giving the impression of a hygienic and appealing meal.
