CAN I HAVE..........
A farmer (Juliao) from a remote village of Goa, goes to Mumbai for the first
time, as per the instructions given to him, he goes to his village club at
Dobitalao, he was welcomed there by his village guys who are putting in the
club. since Juliao has come first time in Mumbai, his village boys alerted him
how to avoid pick-pocketing, cheating etc... Juliao wanted to buy some clothes
for his family members, he was told that the best place is Fashion Street which
is just further to Cross Maidan.
Nicu (An old man in the club) gave him his elderly advice:
Nicu : Choi Cheddea (Look Son) At Fashion Street the shopkeepers will
immediately come to know that you are new in Mumbai, so be careful, whatever
may be the price of the item, always ask for half of it, for example, for a
shirt.. if they quote 400 Rupees, you ask for 200 Rupees.
Juliao: Ok sure uncle.
As it was a working day, nobody could accompany him from his club, so Juliao
had to go alone for shopping. Juliao was so excited when he reached to the
glittering Fashion Street, there were large variety of clothes.
Juliao: How much for this Ladies Salwar Khameez?
Salesman: 1100 Rupees
Juliao: Can you give for 550 Rupees?
Salesman: Nahim Sahab (No Sir).
Juliao steps to go....
Salesman: Arre Sahab (Sir) please come back, I will make 100 Rupees less, give
me 1000 Rupees only.
Juliao: Can you give me for 500 Rupees
Salesman: Ok Sir, last I can give you 600 Rupees
Juliao: No I will pay 300 Rupees
Salesman: Sahab, since you are my first customer for this morning, I will give
you for 350 Rupees.
Juliao: No way, I will pay Rs:175/= only.
Salesman: (gets upset) Sahab, mere ak'ka life meim mainey apka zaisa adhmi
