Hi Nachaki, Don't know about the rates in the vicinity.
The patients, visitors and the staff too buys from the canteen. So I asked there only. The rates are my assumptions. In another mail I wrote the correct rates. Rs. 28 for full meals parcel which is sufficient for two persons. Plate Idly is Rs. 7. On 3/9/07, NaChaKi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
<< If we think that Rs. 15 is the food in canteen, (I do not know. I will find tomorrow. On the operation day I bought buttermilk packets @6 rs. each. Food I don't know. Tea is 2 rs.), for both of them it would be Rs. 30. So per day 60 rs. Tiffin in the morning - 16 rs. @ 8rs. per plate idly. So 75 rs. per day. For 10 days it would be Rs. 750. This is only for their food expenses. >> And, this is inside the hospital?! Don't tell me it's a government-subsidized canteen! I don't know if rupee is losing its face value so much within India, but thinking about India as it stayed in my memory 2 years back, I feel there're definitely a lot other inexpensive alternatives to this!! Rs. 7/- per one plate idly! God, save the value of rupee *among its people*. I am sure there were several days in my own whole when I spent about 50% of that amount per day for my own food. If they're new to the city, WE probably should tell them where food is not so expensive. Or, is this the least expensive? :-( NaChaKi
