Walls of Watermelon

Where coconuts once dominated, one can now see walls of watermelon. With the temperatures beginning to rise here in Chennai, this fruit often associated with summer is a cool treat. If you don't care to buy (or carry) a whole watermelon, you can purchase a slice, half, or even it all chunked up for you in a plastic container. Children in uniforms on the way home from school seem particularly fond of this. 
Note in the photo below the three white horizontal forehead markings on the vendor, a symbol denoting that he is a devotee of the Hindu god Shiva.
