Our fruit guy’s name is Tika (I think that’s his name) because he has a small scar in the middle of his forehead. Prices of fruit fluctuate dailys and most of the time he gives us a good deal. A kilo of mangoes (yes they are local and plentiful) goes for 70-80 rupees), a dozen bananas for 30-40, and apples for 90. I once gave him heck for giving us bruised mangoes once – and he never did it again.

(no, he did it again).
