A leading retail business company with the largest number of outlets in south India sells vegetables at a cheaper rate offering the customer never-seen-before-in-aluva shopping experience by
1. letting the customer pick up as little as 51.5grams of any vegetable. Their high funda calculations and weighing balances ensure that u pay precisely only for the 51.5 grams. Not a paisa extra.
2. each vegetable no matter how small the quantity is packed in separate plastic covers. Mom says that makes them stay fresh for a longer time
One moment please. Thought1: more plastic in my colony
Thought2: joseph appappan, the octogenarian vegetable vendor next door-who still gifts me a parle mango bite everytime I buy something- is suddenly out of business.
The recent bachchan controversy brought to my knowledge a rather interesting fact. In maharashtra only farmers can buy farmland. With the real estate business thriving and concrete structures fast replacing paddy fields, kerala would do better with such aruling.
One more moment. Thought3: my aluva stays perpetually green.
Thought4: the highly qualified yet unemployed malli who often finds it below his dignity is forced to go back to farming. He would do well with the rains we get.
For the records I am neither a green peace activist nor medha patkar’s daughter
