Pricey Vegetables

Pricey Vegetables

By on Monday, November 6, 2017
Seema doesn’t allow her husband to purchase vegetables with a plea- “You don’t have any idea about the quantity and type of vegetables are to be bought; I do know what items to be made and accordingly I choose”.
Being a botany student; she also advocates about her knowledge on so called nutrient values in it. Ravi has got no answer on her justifications and therefore, he prefers to keep quite.
On a usual evening she was walking in the daily market to have something for the supper and some for next day’s breakfast & lunch. Being a winter season and nearer to the rural area, she was optimistic about low price and started ordering various items.
While asking for the amount the vendor shown a bill of Rs.372/-.
Seema shouted at him- “I have never seen this kind of semi perishable vegetables with such a high price tag, are they becoming gold ornaments?”
Vendor-“I have also not thought of it, most of the vegetables are being sold in less margin.”
Seema-  “Then what is making the vegetables pricy?”
Vendor- “The cheaper smartphones with low cost internet connectivity are the main reason behind this.”
Seema- “Are you crazy? Both aren’t two different things!”
Vendor (by pointing to his son)- “all youngsters are busy on their smartphones and they aren’t helping us in farming and other productive works as well. Once they will become mature, they will end up with paying higher prices not only for vegetables but also for other products and services.”
Seema stood still for some moment and then said- “I am having Rs.100 less, I will pay it later”.
The vendor laughed and shown a QR code sticker on the bamboo pillar – “At least my son has enabled digital payment system, you can pay the amount digitally”.
She scanned the code and paid the exact amount without bargain.
On the way back, she made up her mind to limit the internet connectivity, as it doesn’t have any nutritional value unlike in vegetables.

Both of them heard a nice and cute twittering sound coming from the kitchen. Both of them thought that, it might be due to the sweet winter season; until Geeta realised that, there was a nest in the exhaust fan vent and conveyed the same to her husband.
