I went for a walk last evening.
The bazaar was alive, buzzing with energy and overflowing with people of all age
groups. Some zipped past on two-wheelers and cycles, while others moved at a
slower pace, walking home with shopping bags heavy with the day’s purchases.
A noticeable pattern emerged as I
passed the rows of shops: nearly every second store had parents with young
children inside. Many were shopping for school supplies—particularly water
bottles and school bags. The shelves were stacked with bags in all shapes,
sizes, and colors, from cartoon-themed to sleek and trendy designs.
Children clutched the pricier,
flashier options, eyes sparkling with excitement as they pleaded with their
parents to buy the ones they liked. The parents, meanwhile, patiently tried to
balance their children's wishes with practical budgets—negotiating both with
the shopkeeper and their child.
It was a scene both familiar and
heartwarming—a slice of everyday life in a city preparing for the new school
term.
