Goat Market...


Come Friday, and the lane behind Old Civil Hospital in Chowk area turns into a veritable "Goat Market" where people from the vicinity and indulge in Goat Trading (Sounds a mini version of the much maligned HorseTrading!!). Its a worthy sight seeing men holding onto a few Goats and bargaining with a worthy buyer
