The vendor's got several kinds available in that cart, not just husks
and not just fresh. I prefer fresh, but the slightly fermented ones are
good too. I grew up on coconut and sugar cane. In India, they're better
in Bangalore/Chennai. Delhi has the brown ones we're used to in the
states, mostly. Here in Texas, I can only get sugar cane over in the
Asian part of town. Coconut's available, but it's a pale reflection of
fresh and the brown's only good for cooking and candy bars.
I wonder if there's any connection with Unix and coconuts aside from
this umbrella?

Of course! We had some just yesterday, and will again today.
As Groggy noted, the husk may look a little worse for wear, but the
coconuts themselves are quite fresh.

I thought some may appreciate the linked photo:

A lot of shells under that Unix umbrella!
Coconut water + its jelly like flesh can be quite refreshing
on a hot Mumbai day. Did you try any?
