Indian Attar
An engineer turned journalist's story
Was walking around the Asakusa temple premises, when I came across this brother-sister duo engrossed in selecting just the right animal to add to their collection. It was funny to notice how those kids when presented with such a variety of toys, were behaving quite surprisingly like adults – holding each animal in their hand, checking if it had all its feet, comparing two animals, consulting each other and so on. Their parents were busy elsewhere, letting the toddlers make this important decision for themselves. I honestly don’t know what they ended up purchasing, as they weren’t so easy to please.

Takeshita Dori opposite the Harajuku metro station has numerous such shops. This particular shop had laid out all their ladies’ shoes in this very unconventional manner which immediately grabbed my attention from afar. Thanks to the cooler climate of Tokyo, these shoes have optimum insulation for the ankles. While the tag says 50 per cent off, they were still quite expensive by Indian standards.
