market ladies : heated arguments
(first photo of this series is this one) - In fact, they were not arguing with each other, but about the unfair treatment to them by a male banana trader.
This I understood clearly, but of course none of them could speak a word of English, I could only observe the scene with the body gestures etc... A great encounter in a fascinating old fruit and vegetable market in Visakhapatnam, I spent an hour in their company, observing their sometimes hotly debated arguments, other times when they were joking and relaxing. They had accepted my presence, here they had totally forgotten about me.
( I would have loved to research this group, to know more about their jobs, their homes and families, how much they earned etc... so many hidden stories...)
