I’ve got the following text from an AI analysis on Google and I’m using it here as a quote, although I had no idea who’s written it or when—the analysis is not revealing its source, if any. Of course, it’s only a part of the analysis that impressed me most, and therefore I thought of putting it down here for all people of the same ilk. And yes, I’ve tweaked it bit to cover more of the categories of people obviously involved. "Many emerging or existing artists/writers/discoverers feel ignored, with their work going unnoticed, which is often a burden of being in creative industries , rather than a reflection of talent." Very right indeed! Creative people who have put out their work in the public domain would most naturally like to be noticed and be told if their work is poor or mediocre or even good.

I often wonder why customers always target the vegetables vendors for bargaining and saving a few cents. Maybe because it is of everyday use, but the savings, if any, hardly amount to anything. This is relevant for India where markets are mostly traditional.

There was a huge crowd there and as I inched closer to the counter I saw one customer with a countenance oozing opulence really monopolizing it. He was buying a wide variety of sweets in big quantities. I decided to run away to another shop because of the fact that I wanted to buy just 250 grams of one variety!
After the customary purchase I went to the vegetable vendor for a few more items. As I was finishing the man oozing opulence approached the same vendor and started bargaining!
For an item priced 30 bucks a kilo he announced,’ I’ll give 20 bucks because I’ll buy two and half kilos!’ The vendor asked for 25 bucks. The customer announced his verdict again with a stamp of authority. I was instantly happy when the vendor refused! The opulent one moved towards his car maybe expecting a total recall! There was no calling back and I was ecstatic!
These vendors enjoy only a small margin because they have to buy stocks from the middlemen. Now, what do we gain depriving the poor people of their hard earned money?
If we need to save we need to look at some of other expenditures. Right?
