We sell our old newspapers , magazines and junk
to kabariwalas or rag and bone men
who come around crying loudly on the streets.
This time we sold a stack of newspapers
This time we sold a stack of newspapers for Rs 176 which is about US $ 3.54
Do you see such old fashioned scales in the West?
One has to be careful they can trick you.
Some of these men have faulty scales with holes in them
and incorrect weights.
The book of Proverbs in the Bible talks about it.
Mama usually keeps the paper money to use for her garden
purchases (seeds etc.) This time after a brief contemplation
she said,"Do you think we can get Domino's Pizzas with this paper money?"
Domino's opened last year in our city.We 've not sampled its fare as friends have told us that' s its very expensive. The cheapest pizza is about $4.I could make pizzas for 4 people with that much.
Anyway ,I told Mummy to keep her money -
sometimes we can splurge.
My dear Mother is watching
She sometimes does that.
Keeps her 76 years young !
The excitement it generates
is equal to
