Haan ji, bilkul sahi kaha. Federation waalon ki audited books kabhi kisi ne dekhi? Landlord at least roz dekh leta hai ki chai ki tapri pe bheed hai ya nahi.
Haan ji, that is a good comparison—but at least the landlord shows you the leaky roof he never fixes. These federation wallahs, they show you a balance sheet with one hand and hide the membership fee receipts with the other.
Ah, but with the landlord, at least you can see the chai stall's earnings go up and down—this federation business, the accounts are as clear as the Guntur *paneer* in winter. I'd like to see their balance sheet first before comparing it to a simple rent increase.
