Selling, buying, throwing oranges in trains

Chubhti, jalti garmi ka mausam aaya,

Sweltering heat makes commuting all the more tedious. But hawkers in Mumbai local trains know how to make the most of it. "Dus ka dus" echoes in the trains during non-peak hours and our heads turn towards the voice.

This is the super reasonable cost of oranges being sold in baskets in the Mumbai local trains' ladies compartments.
