Onions today , in India, are more expensive than the rupee, and petrol. They have now hit a century in the capital and are now selling there at Rs 100 a kilogram.
My FB friend, Pandit Gourang Kodical of Bangalore , a percussionist by talent, and a banker by training, can clearly recognize an asset when he sees one. Like the onions, now masquerading as jewellery. Which he just posted on FB.
It just occurred to me that this is ideal fodder for all those designer folks who keep creating and marketing designer clothes and jewellery at outrageous prices. They ought to be thrilled.
Stay tuned for news about weddings being cancelled for non payment of Onion dowry....
आज कल के गेहेने
एकदम डिजायनर वाले है.… मन का बोजा गलेपर उतारकर, एक एक प्याज को प्यार से चुनकर बनाया गया अश्रुहार , सर पर निषेध के मांग टिक्के , कोई कह रहा था की अभी आलू-कुंदन कर्णफूल की फेशन आने वाली है , और फिर पापड़ी का चोकर और चेन में गाजर का पेण्ड्ण्ट। कभी कभी लगता है, की ऐसे सब्जीयोंको गेहेने बनाने वालोंको एक बड़ा दूधि लेके पूरा पीटना चाहिये… | Welcome to the era of new designer jewellery Its all about hanging around your neck the loads off your mind, creating chunky large-tear necklaces with specially selected no-cut onions, with a maangtikka(hair ornament) of protest. Rumor has it that Potato Kundan Earrings will be the latest craze. as the Paapdis decide to curl around your neck as an expensive choker, all the while looking down on carrot pendants on chains. Sometimes it looks like these designers need to simply be beaten up and chased with a hefty doodhi.. |
