Today, I went to the Daltonganj vegetable market.
It was such a cynosure to the eyes to see lot of ripe juicy tomatoes all over the place.
The first vendor I saw was selling the stuff for 10 INR for one and a half kilo.
The next one was selling it 2 kilograms for the same amount.
Then, there was this place where it was selling two and a half kilograms for 10 INR.
And the ultimate one . . . there was two crates of tomatoes just left out for the cows to eat. The farmer who brought them did not find it profitable to sell it in the market . . . and so abandoned it for the cows to eat . . .
Reminiscent of 2010 when we had vegetables being sold for throwaway prices. . . .
