Hello Laurent,

U have captured a typical Indian paan shop..with cigarettes and the man arranging the beetle leaves..It a very goof shot considering u included the old lady in the FG..even though she has nothing to do in thge frame but her presence is adding something to the shot for which it is looking good..!! Most of the paan shops are very clumsy and I wonder hoe they sit there the whole day in one position ...must be painful..!!

Regards and TFS,

Indro

Hi Laurent,
A good one to add to your collection! Great that we can see the man preparing the paan. Nice details in the store its self and on the peolple. I like that they are not looking at the camera directly. An interesting daily life shot.
Regards
Wanda

Ciao Laurent!!
bellissima immagine tipica dell'India! probabilmente di buona parte dell'India.
Mi piace molto come hai inquadrato la scena, la vecchia in primo pianio che "riempie" buona parte dell'immagine, e poi in alto le strisce con i semi di anice eccetera, mentre il ragazzo è indaffarato a preparare le foglie con il paan.
TFS...!

An interesting documentary shot, Laurent. It is very similar to the thing that old people chew in Thailand. In fact the custom probably came from India. Nowadays only the very old ,in the countryside chew these here. Thais is good because i fined those red stained teeth revolting. regards kevin

Hi Laurent,
a nice shot from the local people from Bombay. And certainly a good series.
So you are in India again. I am in Bali now and I will go back to Bangkok 5th of June for short (3 or 4 days).
Best wishes,
Nino

Olá Laurent, I remember well those red spittings all over the place and also these shops. Good composition and informative note (there's a cropped version in WS, but I actually like that left side and the presence of that red color). The 'dress' of the woman seems a bit too white and I would like to see one of them reacting to your camera, or giving us some action, but this way we feel a kind of an easy going atmosphere and that's nice too.

Salut Laurent,
Encore une belle scène de la vie quotidienne en Asie, cette coutume de mâcher des feuilles pour le recracher ensuite semble bizarre à nous occidentaux, merci pour ce reportage.

Laurent, j'apprécie cette photo reportage et sa note explicative. Le cadre et les personnages sont bien saisis. Les objets et les gestes sont très révélateurs de cette coutume.

Salut Laurent
Curieuse coutume en effet, c'est quand-même préférable au Kat Yéménite qui possède des propriétés droguantes.
Intéressante scène de la vie quotidienne, par chez moi malgré la forte concentration d'immeubles il y a rien à photographier.
Bon week end.

interesting scene. makes one wonder who the old lady is and why is she sitting there. i personally love street scenes in india just do not carry my camera out often enough and end up cursing my own stupidity.
