SECOND TO NONE- THE 220 FLEA MARKET

Hasn’t shopping these days become boring?
Kudos to the mall culture, you can find the same shoes you were drooling on (and also got them at a hefty price) on a girl walking right ahead of you.

But, you see, God takes care of all his children. Hence, there are flea markets.

Flea markets are small bazaars of a temporary raw setup where people with creative ideas of new/old products, upcoming labels, bartering etc. put up stalls. They can be based on design concept, selling fruits and vegetables or stand with themes such as up-cycling/re-cycling of products as a green step of moving closer to nature.

Second-to-None is one such flea market completely on a concept of re-use, re-cycle, up-cycle and the green idea. It took place at Jaaga on KH road on a Sunday. People who put up stalls came up with some amazing green ideas in their minds.

It feels great to acknowledge and come across such people- making new things out of the old, keeping memories revived or simply giving a rebirth to some old discarded material.
Here are the glimpses. And the details will follow up in the next posts! :)
