5. One inferior shampoo satchet.
6. Two A-4 sized white papers.
7. A pinch of curry leaves or a half-fistful of green chillies.
8. A half fistful of popped rice.
9. A small piece of cut-raw-mango.
10. A small lime fruit.
WHAT WE cannot BUY WITH ONE INDIAN RUPEE IN OUR POCKET?
1. Water (satchet of/glass of, not necessarily purified/mineral water).
2. A Salt packet.
3. A Pocket comb.
4. A vernacular newspaper.
5. A Toilet Entrance ticket.
