The visit to INA market

The visit to INA market

The visit to INA on a day and at a time when most have hardly got over from their last night shine was meant to procure biscuits and milk. Instructions were on bakery biscuits as they are less sweet and after consuming them one radiates less heat. Two packets of bakery biscuits came for 150rs ( fairly expensive) and i was to blame for not doing an elaborate search as some stores packets were coming under 40rs bracket. Jaggery came for 20rs, milk of amul tone came for 60rs (2kg), bananas of a kg came for 50rs (fairly expensive as in Kolkata the local flavour comes for 15 rs and those lifted from Bhusaval and deposited in Kolkata table come for 30rs a kg). Boroplus and acilog came for 50 rs as the storewallah expressed his inability to shower me with a smaller tube.  Nescafe came for 96rs. All in all the breach to the wallet was close to 500rs and this was an experience worth remembering.

The city where we live in and the number of people who surreptitiously work in a cabin, the best bet is to procure all necessities on your own and if some outsiders still indulge in getting the delivery men they need to pitch outside their tent. Tent would not be advisable as forecastmen has dared to forecast that rains in the city is long overdue and though the quantum would be less this would be beneficial in fighting the beasts and the blues. Coming to INA market and those who are least bothered about their budget and have more than occasionally INA target don't realise that the high prices can blow their wallet and make their options flat. Customers of all commendable nature, who claim to have never lost the lustre, should bear in mind that prices that are defendable should be agreed to and any consistency by opening the fat wallet would give the storekeeper the much-needed clue. INA market has changed much from the 80s basket when there were few shops and fewer were sighting of gems with their dogs. Now all customers who seem to radiate as content clever visit and the price fluctuation reveals the market's losing sensation. As for cyber cafe in INA, there are none. One has internet connection that spells 10 rs for 20 minute photo sensation or 20 for 10 minute sensation. This does not work as cyber cafe as there is only one terminal and it is primarily used to prepare documents.

Ride to Mahipalpur

As for the ride to Mahipalpur the other day the ride was amidst volunteers of Sohan Band  South Delhi who were going to play the band followed by taking a wholesome meal to fill their belly. In the bus there were people who were entering and exiting at will; some showing the bus pass thunder to enjoy the travel thrill. The cyber cafe here in Mahipalpur has downsized its operations and by and large it was peaceful and some coming for xeox after having taken their ration. It was after i exited that Metro feeder service was exhibited. The small bus is crammed to capacity and what to talk about standing even the seating passengers have to adjust and their kitty. The ride is terrifying and one can afford to take if one has ample time. A bigger bus with a reduced frequency would be handy than cram passengers in a vehicle that no one has a clue.
