Vendeur de Cucurbitacées
New-Delhi (Inde) - Marché aux légumes du quartier de Paharganj. A force de me voir passer et engager la conversation avec lui à chaque fois que je viens sur ce marché, ce marchand de citrouilles géantes est devenu une véritable connaissance amicale. Il lui arrive de m’offrir un thé afin que je lui raconte les us et coutumes en Europe. Il n’est pas du tout envieux de notre mode de vie. Au contraire. Lui est très attaché à sa vie et à ses croyances. Il est juste curieux de savoir comment ça se passe ailleurs dans le monde. Et j’ai le sentiment que lorsque je lui raconte le monde, je le renforce dans sa conviction d’être né dans la bonne culture.
Cucurbitaceae seller
New-Delhi (India) - Vegetable market in the Paharganj district. By dint of seeing me pass and engage in conversation with him every time I come to this market, this giant pumpkin seller has become a real friendly acquaintance. He sometimes offers me a tea so that I can tell him about the habits and customs in Europe. He is not at all envious of our way of life. On the contrary. He is very attached to his life and his beliefs. He's just curious how it's going elsewhere in the world. And I feel like when I tell him about the world, I reinforce his belief that he was born into the right culture.
