ONE PAISA PER SECOND


I could have titled this article as the “GOD OF SMALL THINGS” too on a second note...but decided against it cause I felt one paisa per second would give more edge and yes some bit of requisite attention...it is just a small note on the eternal bliss and immense victory that we enjoy on our smallest of victories on the smallest of savings in our dire monetary circumstances...which are overrated and underrated at the same time; overrated cause of the tendency to repeatedly hype it out by being too verbose about the same to every person every now indirectly trying to portray one’s oh so smartness and then and underrated cause so much of it goes unnoticed...the first instance with respect to the title itself...the one paisa per second call rate isn’t apparently visible in the balance when it’s at a soaring 60...yes 60 is soaring for people like me...it’s when the binary turns to singularity and is literally dragged to the last breath of getting into decimal...this is the “point” when we feel we have had the biggest feat in days...and yes we do know that secretly in our head that all those calls in the last leg of our balance weren’t even for more than 10 seconds...and thus it’s one paisa per second that is a saving grace for our wireless social contact...another “phony” case can be that of the 20000 messages which are a herculean task in themselves and just takes 90 bucks of your pocket in a month and you are “literally” in touch with people...also illustrating peanuts and popcorn, it’s so marvellous to get so much in just 5 bucks and in 10 you have the world in your hands...if all was to come for so much I wouldn’t see the right side of the menu card.. (although eventually I do order seeing the left side cause I can’t be bad to myself)...the best and the tastiest meal I have had so far have to be the legendary chole kulche : 3 kulche and chole at just 10 bucks...happiness for your tongue and money..u order the same at a restaurant and you get chole with 2 pseudo kulchas: pizza bases with 3-6 crumpled leaves of coriander at some 50 plus rate...another illustration coming from the same side of the story cause I am so in love with food and the wonders it does for my taste buds and later for my body..the huge variety and the n number of dishes we order when we go out as a group as if it’s been ages since we ingested a thing called food...the bill followed which brings in more exclamations “did we eat so much for real?” and  then thanks to the person who devised a mathematical thing called division which brings back our smiles and a thought reversal “that’s it??...we can come here again na..”....not to forget the treats...extremely pretty...it’s all on the house...going dutch is the most amazing joy when it comes to shopping, eating and travelling... “each one to his own”....and all this came to my head as I sipped on the froth of my coffee which is topped with chocolate powder in a nice big thermocol glass and the view of moving lights in the night....at just 10 bucks..
