Some time back in the US City I live one Indian grocery shop opened. On grand opening day it was sparkling clean, wide isles and perfect produce. With all the competition around, they soon suffered. Even the "Desi Bazaar" (really Pakistani) gained some business for a short period. Then, the store changed managment and the tidiness went down hill! Now it is cluttered, imperfect produce amongst scant perfect pieces and the need to search for expiration dates - albeit it is clean I guess. Now their business is booming again! It's like without finding the perfect banana in the middle of the pile of bruised ones there is no sense of shopping pleasure! Great set of posts!

Mysteriously, some are quickly promoted as, a ahem, “minority”. Meanwhile, (this time for a fee) the conniving father moves on to facilitate employment for the extended family as well as unrelated diaspora.
