Selling old newspapers

Newspapers accumulated over many months

Sold to a man who came in a bicycle

Yes, my scales are balanced

Poor little rich boy Jagan
 

The weighing is on

Packed into a gunny sack (once sugar, now newspapers)

I sold 20.5 Kgs at 8 rupees per kilo. I think I'll go buy myself ice cream :)

  2. 400+ bucks for getting rid of old garbage, quite a bargain :) You certainly deserve some icecream.

  3. my dear Watson, where on earth did that 400+ come from? Try as I might I could not deduce any equation in which 20.5 and 8 equals 400+ :D

    But it would be nice (I mean getting the 400+ bucks).

  5. You know, Aduh, trying to do any math in my brain is just giving me a major headache, and in this case, extreme embarrassment. haha. Last night I tried dividing 1040 by 12 in bed, and I kept getting 90! I got so worked up, I snuck out of bed and got my phone-it was 86.6. Chutiang vel chu ka ni.. sorry! :)

    1. I used to sell it for 5 rupees, and was overjoyed to hear the price had gone up to 8 rupees. My buyer didn't mind the pictures at all, he just laughed and went on with his work, probably thinking what a nutcase I was.
