Sab chalta hai

You go to purchase a water bottle, you hand over 15 rs. expecting the shop owner will return 3 rupees, you would just get 2 rs. and may be a toffee with that.....Sahaab chutta nahi hai!.....and you would not bother to question him. Chalta hai...

The other day, I went to a street vendor and asked for a copy of ET. I handed over 3 Rs to him expecting i will get back 50 paise remaining which he of course took for granted. And when i asked him for my 50 Pcs. he said, Ho gaya!.

Then i raised my voice a little and asked him what if i pay you 2 rs. then? He said "why? it doesnot work". I replied with more anger. "The same way it doesnot work when you charge me 3 rs". A lot surprised, a lot more angry and not at all ashamed, he searched for that 50 paise coin, lying somewhere neglected, and handed it over to me.

No wonder we ourselves have somewhere reduced the value of our currency.

I still remember when i was in Germany, every cent is counted and is considered valuable. If a water bottle costs 3 Euros and 20 cents, you need not pay even a cent more than that. Even if you pay 4 Euros, the vendor would insist ensure that he pays you 60 cents back.

But yaha sab chalta hai!!!
