A man was squatting among potatoes in a store in the market of Malda. Apart from the potatoes scattered on the ground, one can also see potatoes piled in bags at the back of the store. The man was selling potatoes here. Native to South America, potatoes are a common vegetable here in India.

The potatoes seemed to have been sold while I was hanging around the store, and the man began weighing them with a potato on one side of a balance pan and a weight on the other side of a lifted balance. The potatoes are quite unevenly sized. It seemed that there were no bagged potatoes here, and that it was common practice to sell potatoes by weight in all stores.
