THE ART OF BARGAINING

 Dhilikka, Hastinapur,The Sulthanates, Mughal empire ..................  THE DELHI

It is the political front of India. It is a reflection of our nations' progress, pride, history and not to forget CULTURE . I got a chance to stay in Delhi. Although it was for a month it was worth the stay because I realised the rule of the day : THE ART OF BARGAINING.

This city has much to its credit : its a blend of everything on earth . the great walls of Indraprastha fort, the omnipresent  Mughal architecture ,the imperialist set-ups ,the narrow streets , slums , skyscrapers , shopping plazas and not to forget the PWD paragons. The greatest wholesale market in Asia is in its kitty: CHANDNI CHOWK .It seems as if each road , lane and building has a story to tell. If you take a wrong turn then your world will change. Towards right is the great city with all its flavour : there are great malls where people throw money. It doesnt mean they dont care for money . They are well versed in the art of bargaining which forbids bargaining in any of these branded shops with all the designer clamor. That means they can't make the poor hearted rich owners to suffer because of them. My cheers to their magnanimity.

Well, if you take a left then you are into darkness. So much of darkness that your shadow glows. Shops scattered everywhere with  noise and rubbish engulfing the streets. Lepers and beggers waiting to swallow you if you give a faintest thought to help. These long strech of roads can offer you anything on earth. And this is where you can learn all about THE ART OF BARGAINING. As a beginner to this art I was taught the first lesson by some experts:

START BARGAINING AT 1/4 th OF THE RATE THEY DEMAND.

But it worked amazingly well because the altercation will finally settle on atleast 1/2 of the demanded price ( which itself looked meagre to me).

So dear tyros try this logic. It works everywhere.... Bargain more if price is less. Because thats the secret of our country's prosperity :

STREET LIGHTS ARE MEANT FOR DAYTIME. THE BRIGHT BECOMES BRIGHTER AND DARK  DARKER ......
