    The time evolution of iconographic conventions in the public sphere is a fascinating thing. Of course it is obvious that a more relevant sphere of enquiry is the origin of specific iconographic patterns and their semiotic significance. But that is something for the semioticians and culture theorists of the popular to decipher. I am instead fascinated by how these conventions evolve-why some things don’t change while others change radically in a fairly short time frame? Anyone passing through a small town in North India can’t help notice the proliferation of fruit juice sellers. I am not talking about the seasonal sugarcane juice sellers but instead fixed shops which run through the year. These establishments, which came into being in a big way in the late seventies-early eighties, were aided by two technological developments-one, the introduction of the “mixie” at affordable prices and second the availability of fruits and vegetables from distant parts of the country because of the transport revolution. The mixie, in reality a pseudo food processor became common as a kitchen appliance only when relatively cheap local clones began to be sold. The fruit juice seller would sell mango milk shakes and some other juices during the summers, “mausami” juice through the year (since this has an almost totemic hold on our psyche as “the” health drink) and carrot and pomegranate juice in the winters. It is important to realize that until the introduction of packaged fruit juices, juice was considered a relative luxury-one had seasonal fruit at home but juice was something for the ailing (anyone would recall the cluster of fruit juice sellers outside of hospitals- and papaya vendors of course!).
