Dry Sweets

Do not be surprised if you are offered dry fruits every where you go this diwali. This Diwali, there is a high chance that the sale of sweets will be very low and sales of dry fruits very high. Reason? Since ganesh chaturthi, lots of fake mawa, a main ingredient in making of sweets, and their notorious manufacturers have been held. The market has also seen lots of fake clarified butter (Ghee) occupying the shelves of grocery stores. Even the Ghee-racketeers  have been cracked down. The result is a severe shortfall in genuine Ghee and mawa. Adding to the bitter woes of sweet mart, the prices of sugar have shot up to Rs.35 per kg, from mere Rs.17/kg. The effect is the cost of production of the sweets is too high.


Also there is no guarantee of the quality of sweets. Corporates gift their clients and partners with exotic sweets. But the news of food poisoning due to consumption of sweets are making rounds, so no one is taking chances this diwali to offer sweets. To be on the safer side they are offering dry fruits which entail no risk and the business relation still can be maintained!

I have bought lots of laddoos from the a trustworthy shop. And I now I am going to eat them. So meet you after I finish those tasty laddoos! You too get something delicious to eat...

Jai Gurudev.
