Pumpkin Magic

In one of the busiest markets, Paharganj, on the confluence of Old and New Delhi, I saw these gigantic pumpkins. As soon as I started clicking pictures, the vendor became chatty and he told me that these were home grown vegetables and the person selling these humongous pumpkins had made a request of hollowing the vegetable and keeping the seeds for the next cultivating season. The huge pumpkins reminded me of Cinderella's chariot. :-)
