aloo le lo...kaanda le lo

There's this scene in 'welcome' where nana patekar is shown pushing a cart wearing a suit trying to sell potatoes and onions....well soon it might be a very realistic scenario.

After long long time i went along wid mom for shopping veggies at the weekly market...and ppl...prices have risen...when potatoes are at Rs14/kg and lauki of all the things lauki...is at Rs20/kg its no longer a laughing matter...well potatoes do go up cylically but the current prices are out of season...

not that it hurts us much...we still buy as much as we like...especially the fruits..we spend a lot on fruits...but if i can feel the price rise...there are a lot of people who must be going home sad faced...worried about their growling stomachs and more so of their kids...these are no good times at all...
