SYNOPSIS

COIMBATORE CORPORATION FLOWER MARKET

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Every morning, huff and puff into the as usual crowded market. Inside, merchants squat by
hillocks of marigolds, roses, and jasmine, calling out to passersby in a singsong voice (malli
vela kammi, malli vela kammi) there is a constant clatter of weighing scales and the drone
of haggling shoppers.

An intoxicating fragrance hangs in the air even the best of technology cannot bottle that.
But it's not just the fragrances. Sometimes there is a whiff of sweat as well. That is coming
from where the garland makers work round the clock.
