Ghee Story…
A young chap came home a short while ago. He asked me, “Sister, Do you have Ghee?”
Mostly I say no to the one asking for ghee. Because, if I say yes, then they will question me about the high price.
Therefore, I replied to him, “It may be available with someone I know. I shall check and let you know”
He said, “I need it immediately”. He continued, “It’s for making roti’s to a VIP, He wants either butter or ghee”.
I said, “It’s Rs.1000 per half a kilo”
He mentioned, “I heard it’s only Rs.300 per kilo”
I explained patiently, one sack of cow feed for Rs.900, wages for the cowherd and for milking. In addition, it would take nearly 15 to 20 days to prepare the butter little by little from the milk. On the day of boiling the butter and preparing the ghee, the entire house would be a mess and we start thinking when do we complete and clean the house.
“How much would it be the cost for all these works, brother?” I asked him.
He replied, “Let me esquire and get back”
“Brother, Sometimes due to the work burden I even think, why should we continue this dairy business. As he is a VIP, he could have gone in his vehicle to the super market, which is very close by and get the butter quickly”
He replied, “It wouldn’t be original”
“All the time we are selling our good produce for a loss like this and ended up selling out even our farming land. Hereafter at least we consume these good produces instead of selling, that is the reason I said no”, I said.
He looked understanding the fact and said, “It looks reasonable”.
Here onwards, even If people ready to pay more, it is doubtful that we are able to get genuine products.
Even If he is not able to take back the investment or pay interest for the loan, the farmer who says no to the VIP is the real VVIP in this ghee story
