Three months after moving to our new house, for the first time we went to the Alpharetta downtown farmers’ market. It actually happens every Saturday but we usually are on the lake on Saturday mornings.

Sharmila was excited beyond belief seeing all the fresh vegetables. Reminded me of the time when I was used to go to the market to buy vegetables. I was one bicycle short today. And one dog too many!

Found উচ্ছে (“uchhe“) and শাঁকালু “(shnakalu)” (bitter melon and jicama)!! Bought some fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, eggplant and okra too!

Like I said, my mom would have been very proud of me. My dad, I am sure, would have reserved his judgment till he found out how much they cost. “koto daaam nilo?”
