Rs. 5 day!


Yesterday I unknowingly found myself in a midst of a bizarre 'shopping spree'. Whatever I bought in till the day was over amounted to Rs. 5...(nothing more or nothing less). I started my day by buying a Rs. 5 steel ring in the local train, then spent another Rs. 5 for a packet of roasted chana (grams), another fiver for sukkha (dry) bhel-puri, and the last 5 for a small glass of Kokum sherbet. Interesting ... Rs 5 seems the way to snack in Mumbai!
