Easy come, easy go

The decision of the union ministry to hike petrol prices was announced last morning.
At night, on my way back to home from office, i stopped by at the petrol pump.
The attendants were probably so used to this phenomenon - price hike followed by all motorists getting their tanks filled up.
A cars arrival must be something special in a place so full of bikes
His face lit up.
"Tank full, saar?"
Umm .. no ...
I thought, how far can 35 litres carry me anyways?
Reached into my purse - and being low on cash - got a measly Rs 200/- out.
Smile was off. 4.85 litres at the old rate.
The old rate that would never return - this is not like the stock market - it goes only up!
Hmm, so i saved Rs 10 on this purchase.
Shortly afterwards, i stopped at the lending library and picked up two comics - for a Rs 10/- rent.
Ahh .. easy come, easy go!
