A Fish Market in Mumbai

On a hot saturday morning, a fish market in a northern suburb of Mumbai is teeming with activity. Fish sellers call out their wares while simultaneously hacking their fish into fillets for freshly made deals. Hens squeal with anxiety as a chicken shop behind me sets up for the day’s business. Cats and dogs are everywhere, accompanied by crows who’s caws resonate under the makeshift corrugated metal roofs of the market. The crowd ebbs and flows; a mix of discussions of the days news, stories of family, and bargains on fish prices. Beneath me a rat lays dead and unnoticed, trampled on by every other foot that passes by.
