| By Zafar Alam Sarwar An illiterate married woman visited a grocer's shop in a federal capital locality for refined salt and matchboxes. Shocked by the latest sharp rise in prices of kitchen items, she refused to buy a normal pack of ten matchboxes. Her argument was handsome: "I've to cut my coat according to my cloth." Retailer Masud, impressed by the village woman's wisdom, obliged the customer at pre-budget rates. The woman's husband is a wage earner in a fish hatchery and she, like so many others, has to perform domestic chores of two better-off families in a colony two furlongs from her home. She feeds her four small children and looks after her parents-in-law. She bought an old taxicab out of the money saved for the rainy season, which her husband plies at night to meet their monthly budget. |
