Date Line-!984-Raipur:
There was curfew in Raipur the day after the assassination of Indira Gandhi. There was relaxation for two hrs. in the evening. I gave Rs. 5/- to my son to get some vegetables. He returned with a single tomato, double the size of a table tennis ball. No other was available in the market and the cost of it was Rs.5/-. In those days Rs.5 was lot of money and could purchase lot of vegetables. Taking into consideration the inflation the value of 5 is almost 150 now.
Date Line -2014, 13th July-Salem:
Yesterday, the cost of one KG of Tomato was 50 and I got 4 weighing 250gm costing 12.50., each costing about 3, damn cheap.
