A very costly greeting

A very costly greeting

Our beloved brothier Siddharth had recently sent a sales advertisement. 900 grams of natural river sand is Rs. 290 was quoted as the price.

One kg means 290 + 29 = 319 rupees. Price to pay for quality Tirunelveli Alva.

Knowing that river sand and Alva have become one in the country, will we be proud of being born with river sand in the riverside civilization? Or do we reminisce about our youth spent in precious river sand like the children of rich households born with silver spoons?

We live in a time where we can buy and sell anything through the internet. River sand has also started to be sold like that. Speaking of which, can we say that the internet mafias have started doing what the sand mafias did earlier?

A liter of water is selling for twenty rupees and less than a kilo of river sand is selling for 290 rupees, only the future will tell what will be happen in coming days.

"Much more than Paguli river’s sand"    (Purananuru, 9:10)

A poet called Netimaiyar in Purananuru, famous sanga literature of Tamil would have greeted Palyagasalai Mudukudumi Peruvaluti. When comparing his greetings with today's river sand sales period, he has greeted very expensively, that is, very castiliest.

Below is the sales ad that mentions the above. You should also look at that level of quality cruelty of that ad.
