kunal 's notebook entry: Dec 29, 2010 I seldom go to market to buy groceries, but yesterday I had to go with my brother to market because I need to go with him to meet one person. Actually only he knew that person. It was first time for me to meet that person. That day he had a plan to go market to by some vegetables and that person lives near by that market, so he gave me one condition. He would go with me only if I would go with him to market to buy vegetables. I like to spend time with my brother, but I hate to go market to buy vegetables with him. I prefer to go super market to buy vegetables, but he likes to buy vegetables from small markets. We call it “Mandi”. Mandi is a kind of small market, where are many small shops. He thinks, in Mandi we can find not only fresh vegetables but also can buy them in very cheap price. We can also find some new vegetables there. Yes, I agree with him but isn’t very time consuming?? Anyway yesterday after met with that person. We went to Mandi. We parked our car and roam in that Mandi. He was stopping at every shop and inspecting vegetables. “Hello, what is the price of potatoes” my brother asked to the shopkeeper while holding one potato in his hand. “Rs 10 per kg” shopkeeper replied. “oh! It is a too expensive, Just now other shopkeeper told me it’s price only Rs 7 per kg” my brother said. However, in real it was the first shop where he asked it’s price. “But this is very good quality, sir “shopkeeper said.” Hey, we want to buy 10 kgs.. Do you want to sell them at this price, or we go to that shopkeeper? “ “ok ,ok , you win . I agree to sell you at this price “shopkeeper replied. So my brother was doing the same things at every shop. He is very good at bargaining. That time I was just looking at the expressions of my brother and those shopkeepers. It was really fun. I was enjoying a lot that time. While coming home, I insisted him to bring me, whenever he would go to market next time. Hey, you should also try it ..
