I bought an Electronic Scientific Calculator in 1976. I had to pay 900 Rs. That was over half my monthly income.
Last day I wanted a Calculator, a basic one. While roaming around the market area, I found a big stack of calculators in the footpath shop. I found one of the kind I am in need. I asked him the price. 20 ! In doubt, I asked him again. 100 for six, he said. Yes ..that's how it is . A simple one costs just about 16 Rs. Buy one, you pay 20 !
It's Chinese made. But the seller assured that it will go for a decade ! What more do I need ? I'll be too happy if it works for an year !! I bought two. One for me and one for my grandson (5).
