In the bustling streets of Delhi, Rajesh runs a unique street cart that offers refreshing lemon and rose sherbet during the sweltering summer months. Unlike typical vendors, Rajesh's cart is adorned with vibrant artwork created by Shakeel Artist, a celebrated signboard painter known for his iconic work throughout Old Delhi. Rajesh has been selling these cooling drinks for nearly 30 years, initially setting up shop in Old Delhi's Meena Bazar before relocating to a quieter spot outside Gate No. 1 of the Jama Masjid Metro Station. He operates his cart from March to July, returning to his village in Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, during the off-season to sell vegetables. Rajesh explains that the drinks are more suited to the urban environment, where the heat from factories and traffic makes refreshing beverages essential for outdoor workers. His cart not only provides relief from the heat but also showcases the artistry of a local legend, making it a double thrill for customers.
