Going to a shopping mall and coming back empty handed...Thats what happens on a weekend...Gopalan Arcade is just 3 kms away from where I stay....Since I dont have any classes on weekends,this is the only way to kill time...there are 4 of us..we wont miss a chance to visit this mall....Last Saturday also we were there...But this time,I didnt return empty handed...
We were checking the new samples that were there in the STAR bazaar....I was busy advising my friends not to buy any products...To support my arguments, I took a packet of tamarind..MRP was 63 Indian rupees...I said-"See...This is something that we get for free at our place...We can even see our people even wasting it...Now here,these people are charging 63 rupees for it...Why should one buy it"...To strengthen my arguments , I took another packet of Strawberries..And when I turned it upside down to check the MRP, the whole thing fell down and soon people around me were playing football with strawberries....I looked around for my friends..But they were not there.....With utmost patience,I found out every piece of it..when I was about to place it back on the stands, one of the employees came ..With a smile in my face, I said--"Bhaiyya..kisi ne giraaya tha...." He said..."Makane...Ee kali ennodu venda..Maryadakku sadhanathinte vila thannittu poykko".......the girls who were near me started laughing...I dont know how Kannadigas understand Malayalam.
I said : Chetta,..Ithu pack cheytholu....De appurathu irikunna aaa imported Fuji aaple um koodi Oru kilo eduthekku...Fruits kazhikkuanthu aarogyathinu nallathaanu..Athu potte....chetante naadu evide enna paranje?,,,
He was not interested....He packed all those things and gave me a bill of 200 rs....Still the girls were laughing....As I got out of the bazaar,, i saw my friends waiting outside...One asked : Where were you? We were looking for you....Ah..You bought things....What happened?......
Mallanmaar..Nambaane kollilla....With that in my mind I said....I read somewhere in the paper that its good to have a strawberry and an apple daily....you people should also try.......
PS:I wanted to post something and what else would I post while eating this imported FUJI apple..,
