An hour before Iftar yesterday, I went to local bazaars and was relieved to discover that I am not the only one obsessed by food during Ramzan.
This seller dressed his chhola beautifully...

... but picky buyers also abound - checking out an orange.

Jilapis fried away in historical oil...

...while Muri (puffed rice) serves the health-conscious

Pre-iftar is slow for the barbershop business.

But hey, shopkeepers gotta eat Iftar too, so why not roll your own?

This pair of apple sure looks heavier than the 150g weight.

...Dates is all I want, I want them plump chewy sweet dates...

Hey, what's inside those fried thingies?

Having trouble keeping fingers away from the food? Wait it's not time yet!

This Gulshan shop is more upscale and restrained

Is this young man having trouble concentrating?

And let's not forget that kids enjoy Iftar too.
