Hi Guys,

Yesterday was desi grocery day and here's what I did -

while chatting with the owner, picked up a "cross border" product, examined it closely and obviously focussed on the manufacturing details. I then dropped it like a hot potato.

The owner was a bit surprised and naturally asked me on what had happened. I said that I prefer "home" products.

The owner offered a desi substitute - AT THE SAME LOWER PRICE.

Net result - Hit them and saved some money.

Rgds,

I hope by "cross-border" you mean American. And I hope by "home" you mean Canadian. 'Cos buying Canadian keeps people and jobs in Canada - the place that sustains you and your family.

Net result - Hit them and saved money AND KEEP JOBS in CANADA.

You know you are a desi when ........ You spew forth the virtues of India, but don't want to live there...............You've never had a tanning salon membership

I've heard of America being called many things - including land of the free!!, but never the "land of the pure".
