The Market with no name. is called the 'car market" NOIDA.

I am sure it has a name, but everyone insists its just the car market!! If I insist it has, then it must be next to the Gulmohar market, but a car market still!! Not that they sell cars there!! They actually repair them!! & going by the fact that the cars are there, everywhere, in never ending rows & columns, in all directions & faces- till as far as the eye can see, in all stages of repair & dis repair- it must be a lot of cars that get hurt in the city!!

Well, since every car owner is bound to know it, it may only be of use to those its not of use, to know that it is opposite the Nirulas, behind the Savoy suites, below the new WTC building & in the general location of the sector 16, at Noida. Yes, Yes- its easy to reach!! & the roads inside were pretty wide once upon a time- a time before the cars came in for repairs!!! & now- they occupy every possible inch of the road!! But somehow, & that’s worth some study, no car ever gets stuck there!! They all move in & they all move out!! Call it some law, or just community participation of the cars & its people!!

It used to be a single storied market place. In neat rectangular rows, with an hierarchy & a close interspacing of roads!! Not that any of it has been lost- just hidden!! Behind the signage’s, the registration no. plates, the unused car axles, the no good tyres, the stacks of car batteries, the towers of boxed car speakers, engine oil, doors being painted & lots & lots of people!! & machines!! & Cars!! & more cars!! You go in & you’d know what this version of the “Bhul bhuliya” is!! Luckily for the new, the next door, not next really, glass & more glass building of the WTC lets you know where you are!! BTW, the WTC may actually claim this to be a part of its own trade operations!! The profitable part that is!!)

& then, in the middle of all this is the great garbage dump!! Well, it does have a dump in the memory of the efforts of the municipality to perform of its duties!! But, obviously it forgot!! So, there is garbage everywhere, of all kinds & no uses!! Of course, its used as an open toilet too!! & the cars don’t mind!! The Humans need it!! The pigs just love it!! & the Changed oil in your car- guess it needs a place to go too!! This dump has its own morphology!! An active & ongoing struggle between the Garbage & the Cars- for space!! But don’t you make a value judgment on this please!! How else does your car get its bumper painted for one fifth the price of its richer cousin at the authorized workshop!! & you know these rich kinds anyways- not that they are “doodh ka dhula”-/ & FYI, they don’t sell the Chinese car tyres, or break pads!! We need them!!

You should take a walk!! Don’t worry about the dump!! The Chemicals, gases & the Oils have possibly killed all possible microbe life!! Its Safe there!!

& though they wont do it- I wish there was a study called the “Humans of Car market” initiated!! You d know that most come from neighboring towns! Are mostly of a particular community!! Can do almost all calls of repair- with no formal training in any of them!! & its not strange when a Muslim worker of a Hindu owned battery shop gives a ‘Bhawgad Gita’ as a discount for the Battery price to my Muslim contractor with me!! Because here, this issue of classification does not matter!!
