This is a typical scene in the middle of Mumbai.
There are plenty of nice restaurants in this financial center, but most people are content to get their lunch from a street vendor. In this case, the street vendor is set up right outside to a sit down restaurant.
The man staring at the camera is another story. Often when you use a camera in public in India you are the focus of great curiosity. No one ever asks you what you are doing or who you are they just stare at you.
