Street Hawkers of Mumbai

We live in a city where Street Hawkers is a common place. They are generally for eatables. They can be for non-edible items also. The Street Hawkers are varied. They range from your daily vegetables, fruits, to garlands. Mumbai as a city is famous for its hawkers. When you go to South Mumbai hawkers are in abundance. It is convenient for all of us to buy food and other items from streets. They make our lives more easy. People shy from getting into a store. This can be because of fear and expectations of a store. This is not true in case of hawkers. We get lovely food across the city from these hawkers. They are not necessarily hygienic but some hawkers now a days are aware that hygiene will only increase their business and attract more customers so they see to it that their food items are clean. Even though they charge a premium for hygiene, people still flock to them and want to buy their vada pav or samosa pav. More businesses are now following the model of street hawkers. Many brands have made their way on the streets, one of them is Energy drink and the other is Jumbo vada pav a recent brand.

Hawkers will always be the life blood of a metropolitan city like Mumbai as they provide affordable, convenient food, any place, any time.
