Perchance you are wondering why the featured image’s little girl in the white dress looks familiar…we had encountered her one hour earlier, in a courtyard.

There, she had danced – not as a “performance” – but spontaneously, as pictured in this series’ chapter #4.

Lahore is one of the world’s hottest and most polluted cities.

However, on the morning of 12 May 2024 the air was surprisingly “fresh”,  temperature atypically moderate, and there were puddles in streets.

These were all thanks to the violent storm that had suddenly thundered in, overnight.

I have no idea whether or not any local law or regulation was being breached.

If any relevant “Occupational Health and Safety” rules were notionally applicable, Lahore’s employers and employees were obviously well aware that such rules were notional, only.

One would never see a working person carry such an enormous load – in full public view – on any Australian street.

For those whose shopping list contains just two very particular items – each utterly unlike the other – the pictured street vendor is their one-stop shop.

The bearded gentleman was selling only three products.

One was packaged in boxes: it kills rodents.

Another was “loose”; the dried plant-parts are “medicinal” – allegedly beneficial to humans’ health and life expectancy.
