Are the stores in the States doing us a service or disservice by being so diversified and not specialized? While street shopping in Old Delhi, I was contemplating the answer to this question. Yes, I could shop at Target in the U.S. and buy most of what I need....but what about that one unique item that they do not stock? In Old Delhi each shop seemed to specialize. There were sew machine shops,a button shop, book shops, a map shop, sari shops, brass shops, and many more. Each with an abundant quantity of one item. Judging from the pictures above, you would think that the merchants are clueless about their inventory. Not so ! It was remarkable that they knew, not only the variation of the item in question, but also right where to find it in stock!
