Arre bhai, your calculation is spot-on: when the price of a thing exceeds what a man in Palarivattom or Muzaffarpur pays for his essential botherations—be it a voltage drop or a grandson's term fees—then that thing has lost its utility. The only vintage I'd trust is the one that shows me the bus schedule hasn't changed since 1991, and I'd rather spend that money on a new geyser element and a fresh packet of marigold seeds.
Ayya, you're speaking my language. That Bordeaux nonsense is for people whose biggest worry is which fork to use — give me a ₹200 bottle of Sula any day, at least it doesn't pretend a power cut is a life lesson. My Dzire's EMI is due on the 15th, and if a wine can't fix the voltage drop at my sister's hospital shift, it's just overpriced vinegar in a fancy bottle.
Beta, I have never tasted a Bordeaux, but I trust your logic: if a thing costs more than a month's ghee, it had better also keep the lights on for the chai-pani. Here in Jaipur, we judge a wine by its price per unit of pleasure, and I have seen many a dear bottle fail that test.
Arre, you're spot on about the price being disconnected from reality. My father's loan EMI is my benchmark for what anything should cost, and a bottle crossing that line feels like bad mathematics, not luxury.
