#BlueTokaiCommunityStories

Continuing our series celebrating stories close to home, this one belongs to Mohit and Seema. ?

In 1978, their father, Prem Ji, cycled through the lanes of Hauz Khas with nothing but a basket of cauliflowers balanced on the back of his bicycle. That basket grew into what is now known as Prem Vegetable Stand, a familiar corner that has fed the neighbourhood for nearly five decades.

Nothing here ever goes to waste; unsold greens find their way into the hands of friends or the compost pit at home. The scraps return to the soil, becoming fertiliser for the trees that shade the very street they sit on.

So, the next time you’re at our Hauz Khas café, follow the scent of fresh produce and say hi to them.

P.S. Got a neighbourhood story you love? DM us a photo and tell us what makes it special.?
