Kanpur: Soaring prices are presumed to be a cause behind lemon stealing from orchards.
The lemon growers are even staying at their orchards to protect their costly produce.
But, the soaring prices appear to have no marked effect on the minds of parents who are making arrangements for the marriage of their sons.
When a father was apprised of the number of sweets packets on his son's engagement he quickly asserted that the number was not enough.
There was a need to enhance the number of packets, he said. He looked to have no concern about the soaring prices.
What was earlier decided by his wife was soon doubled under his insistence? There was no example of inflation in his talk.
The problem of rising prices haunts the have-nots only. Those who are moneyed do not care about the inflationary trends. It is not far from an actual standpoint.
