Yesterday when I was returning from my office, I thought of taking some vegetables and fruits from the mandi. Though now not a surprise for me, but would be very pinching for many others that all the vegetables were almost available in similar price that is Rs. 60 per Kg. Be it tomato, be it Parwal, Bheendi, Baigan..; you name the vegetable and all were in the same range. I had to take lesser quantity of vegetables only for myself as I live alone, so I had to wait till the vegetable seller finished with the lady who was probably taking her quota of vegetables for a week or so. I was silently watching, she was asking for each addition of the vegetable, how much she was to pay and whatever the seller told her, she was telling he had to reduce that by Rs. 10. It was funny for me, but not for the seller. I don't know may be his margin might have increased due to sudden spurt in prices of vegetables, but his annoyance with the lady was clear on h...is face, after all he can give her discounts up to a limit, not from his normal profit margin. Any how, after she left, I purchased tomatoes and brinjal from him. While giving me tomato, he put a small piece of tomato after the weight was done. I thought he was doing me a favor by that after being harassed by the woman who just left... hahaha. Well on a serious note, in morning newspaper today I read in Malda, villagers made a riot against the vegetable sellers looting their vegetable. But is that correct? Sometimes I feel their plight, they are poor fellows who just buy it from the whole sellers and sell that in retail. There is no fault of them for the price rise. On the other hand, consider the poor families, how they will survive in such a scenario? How will they have their food? Such things would start happening now, if the state and Center does not have any concrete plans to tame the price rise of essential commodities, sorry to say they have terribly failed in that.
