Today for the first time since I moved into my building I invited the fisherman to my house to show me his wares...... Usually I ignore the guy and pretend like I have better things to do than chase after fish... but I knew the fondness my parents have for fish and I decided to ask them to see whether they would like to buy anything.... and this is how the bargaining went...
Mom : How much?
Fisherman: Two for Rs. 100
Mom (completely aghast): No, No!
Fisherman: How much will you give?
Mom: Four for Rs. 10.
Needless to say the fisherman was a little taken aback by my mom's offer .... and to be honest, so was I.... I wonder whether my mom realised that in Mumbai you dont get anything for Rs. 100, forget Rs. 10....
Well you cant blame her for trying her best to get the lowest prices....
