Not Heartless...Sensible...
 I had another fruit guy who used to come to the house every morning and everytime without fail he would say "Bonee"....this went on for a couple of days and finally i asked him why i was the chosen one for this auspicious transaction day in and day out... It turned out that my house was the first one which fell on his route... he was promptly asked to start at the other end of the garden so my house would be one of the last then.... Quote:

Boni and not Pauni
An age old practice- which also automatically translates to buy something and bargain hard as otherwise the Goddess Laksmi will desert him for the day! Bad luck if you are trying to make a day's living!!!
