Story 92 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

In the center of Igatpuri village is a street market. Vendors sit
at stalls and sell their produce. Because every vendor sits in
the same location, everyone knows what they sell. So all they
need announce is the price. They don’t try to out shout one
another. They take turns. This creates a sort of chant, a back
and forth. Except for the Hindi, it’s a revival meeting in rural
Alabama. At the main corner of the market are the banana
sellers. First time there, I thought “do rupee” was the Hindi
word for banana....
