Bangalore, Jul 9: A fruit and vegetable stall located on the main road in Chennapatna, in the newly-formed Ramanagar district of Bangalore, has been attracting a lot of customers of late.
All varieties of fruits and vegetables are artistically displayed in the make-shift stall set up beneath a tree by Anthony.
Anthony is assisted by his two teenaged sons who attend the school nearby and help their father in their spare time. Anthony follows the hygienic practice of washing the fruits chosen by the customers before presenting it to them on a plate with picks. He also applies homemade honey on the fruits.
Chennapattana is famed for its puppet industry, and this correspondent who was mesmerized by the puppet show was equally impressed with the artistic display of fruits and vegetables at the stall.
Anthony’s friendly nature and his salesmanship are primarily responsible for bringing back the customers repeatedly to his stall.
