_Sandy_ Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 A short, but, a real story *Today in India its unbelievable .......the numbers are a little difficult to swallow, , ... but interesting nevertheless.* *It was my regular train journey home from work. I boarded the 18:50pm train at from Paranur. When the train was about to leave Guduvanchery, a samosa vendor with an empty basket got on and took the seat next to me. As the compartment was sparsely occupied and my destination was still far away, I got into a conversation with him.** **Me: "Seems like you've sold all your samosas today."* *Vendor (smiling): "Yes. By God's grace, full sales today."* *Me: "I really feel sorry for you people. Don't you get tired doing ****this tiresome job the whole day?"** **Vendor: "What to do, sir? Only by selling samosas like this every day do we get a commission of .75 paise for each samosa that we sell."** **Me: "Oh, is that so ? How many samosas do do sell on an average each day?" * *Vendor: "On peak days, we sell 3,000 to 3,500 samosas per person. On ** **dull days, we can't even move 1,000 samosas a day. On an average, we ** **sell about 2,000 samosas a day."** **I was speechless.....for a few seconds. The guy says he sells 2,000 samosas a day; at .75 paise each, he makes about 1,500 rupees daily, or 45,000 rupees a month. That's Rs. 45,000 a month. OMG. I intensified my questioning and this time it was not for time pass.** **Me: "Do you make the samosas yourself?"** **Vendor: "No Sir. Our propreitor gets the samosas through a samosa manufacturer and we just sell them. After selling we give him the ****money and gives us 75 paise for each samosa that we sell."** **I was unable to speak a single word more but the vendor continued...but one thing...most of our earnings are spent on living expenses. Only with the remaining money are we able to take care of other business.** **Me: "Other business? What is that?"** **Vendor: "It is a land business. In 2007 I bought 1.5 acres in Urupakkam for 3 lakh rupees and I sold it a few months back for 15 lakhs. Now I have bought land in Uthiramerur for 5 lakh rupees."** **Me: "What did you do with the remaining amount?"* *Vendor: "Of the remaining amount, I have set aside 6 lakhs for my daughter's wedding. I have deposited the other 4 lakhs in the bank."** **Me: "How much schooling have you had?"* *Vendor: "I studied up to third standard; I stopped my studies when I was in the 4th standard. But I know how to read and write. Sir, there are many people like yourself, who dress well, wear a tie, wear shoes, ****speak English fluently and work in air-coditioned rooms. But I don't ****think you guys earn as much as we do wearing dirty clothes and selling samosas."** **At this point, what could I reply. After all, I was talking to a millionaire! The train chugged into Chromepet station and the samosa ****vendor got up from his seat.** **Vendor: "Sir, this is my station...have a good day."* *Me: "Take care."** **What more is there to say...!* Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sackboy Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Fake story, 3500 samosas on a busy day ? I'll give you some numbers too If he works for 8 hours straight he would be selling 5.8 samosas a minute, let's assume a person buys around 2 samosas on average then he is serving around 3 people a minute, it seems really hard that he is doing that non stop for eight hours considering that he will also have to muster the change and give it out too. Sorry man, seems faker than the joke it is supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He earned like 35k per month, I was a fresher then, earning 22k per month. He was kinda mocking me, what good are your studies and all. I simply said I prefer the respect I get in society, and the standard of my life (not this mildly, some examples were given). He didn't speak anything after that.

Rosh Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 They are called irani samosas,they are suppose to have onions in them. They are bite sized hence the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
