Imran, I really like this photo! That pot sitting on the tire really a "story" into the life! What was he cooking? Wonderful capture! FV

Thanks, Kym! I am not sure about the dish being cooked, but I suspect it is 'siri paya.' (Wikipedia has an entry on the dish if you want more info. Unfortunately, I cannot paste the link here.)

Thanks, Mary! Yes, unfortunately, these type of activities are fast fading as urbanization conquers the world ...
