I remember the mind blowing advertisement for Maruti cars in which they quote “For a country obsessed with mileage.. Maruti makes the most fuel efficient cars”. Its a cute ad, you can watch it here. but think of it, in 30 seconds they managed to define a Typical Indian. Being Indians, we want value for every penny that we spend, we want the best things for the cheapest possible price. But why are we so uptight about things that are going on the shelf the second time? We happily brand them as “used” and steer clear of it. A concept that is so popular over seas, is a taboo in India. Looks like its changing for good

This amazing market is happening now as I write:) Second to None is a concept that is fast catching up in Bangalore and a few other cities, thanks to the efforts of Anu and team. Where people can sell things that they no longer need and believe that someone else can give it a new lease of life by paying a very small amount. The facebook group is very interactive with over 1300 members, selling and buying things by the minute.
Here are a few shots of the flea Market I took this morning.

Waiting for the day when Delhi opens up to such ideas…
Was browsing through the store website. Really loved the Lacquerware of Channapatna pieces. We’re not wine drinkers so am thinking of other uses for that? Do you make key chains or something? I vaguely remember getting a key chain from Chennai that looked liked this yrs ago. May be you should look into branching this out to other decor items. Really love all the colors in those lacquered pieces.
You could have added the prices too..would have given the readers an ideas of the price range of markets….
