At Moore Market, 14-year-old Gayathri S, is in awe of the old grandfather clock on display. Double her height, the clock’s towering presence and ticking hands are indifferent to the tides of time. Diagonally opposite, 24-year-old Saamarth Agarwal, has his head buried in a tray of British-era coins on display at one of the many vintage shops at the Moore market. “When I feel gloomy, I come here to buy books and look for new articles on display at the vintage shops. I feel that they have a soul in them which is worth preserving,’’ says the graphic designer, as he bargains with the shopkeeper.
