We went to Kozhi (Chicken) Market on a Photo Walk last Saturday - an
informal market where birds, dogs, rabbits and other such pets are
sold, and which is supposed to have been taking place at this spot for
over 100 years (who knows?). The problem is that most of the stuff
sold there borders on the illegal - the cocks are fighting cocks for
the most part (cock fighting is illegal in this country on paper), a
lot of the other birds sold as pets are in contravention of the
Wildlife Protection Act, and I even saw Australian Cockerels
available. It is also jam packed with humans - as it was the first
time for me, I did some trust building with the sellers (there were
streaks of covert minor hostility apparent here and there), checked
the lay of the land, got a feel for the place, all with an intention
to return - and took very few photographs:
