Hard days work - Bangle seller.Diamonds are a girls best friends they say. But in India, not all can afford such costly jewels. Here come bangles to the rescue of womenfolk, a very Indian traditional jewelery. Worn by a lot of women in India, despite of their age, religion or social standing. The colour of the bangles are symbolic; Green for fertility, Red for Life. Colourful the merrier, more the better.
This particular shop deep inside Pune city sells only glass bangles. They come in all colours and sizes. Price - Rs.1 to Rs.12 a pair. This old lady selling the bangles had the zest of a young girl and was no less than any hi-fi sales person in a big showroom or a mall to show all that the buyer wanted.

Hmm. You do wonder which person is selling and which person is buying. Your comment states that the old woman is the seller, but she looks so engrossed in the item in her hand that I initially thought she was the buyer and the young girl was telling her the price...
