OH FLIP! published by Bombay Duck Designs, is a series of flipbooks of hand-drawn animated action loops commonly seen in Indian street-food & street-life.
Filter Coffee
The peculiar action of pouring filter Kaapi back and forth between 2 containers in meter long arc-like motions is commonly seen in South Indian coffee stalls. This act serves several different purposes like mixing ingredients thoroughly, cooling the hot coffee down to sipping temperature and most importantly aerating the mixture before serving the customer.
Nimbu Pani
Shikanji or Nimbu Pani is a traditional spiced lemonade, and a popular Indian summer cooler.
The action of squeezing the lime juice at the stall or a “thela”, into a big bowl of cold sugar water with ice cubes and black salt and into the glasses attracts exhausted customers walking by. A visit to the stall serves as a refreshment to both body and the mind.
Ice Gola
The gola is Mumbai's quintessential streetside summer cooler. The different syrups lining the gola-wallah's cart makes a colourful picture. So does the action of pouring the syrups and the ice absorbing the colours.
