With just Rs 10, you can buy the most expensive things in the world!

You think 10 bucks is too little to do anything with?  “What can anyone buy for 10 rupees in this day and age?’ you might ask. We tell you how you can acquire the most expensive things on this planet for exactly that amount.

For Rs 10: Brush up your GK

Buy a cup of hot filter coffee from a local eatery or a cup of chai from a roadside vendor. As a bonus, we guarantee you unlimited free chatter from other customers and a dozen fascinating opinions on events local and global.

For Rs 10: Some bright smiles

Buy a length of sweet-smelling gajra for your mom or even your housemaid. A bunch of bright smiles will make your day, both from the ones you buy from and the ones you give to.

For Rs 10: Give a surprise gift

Buy a postcard. Scribble two or three lines and send it to your friend. This will probably be the funnest surprise gift you’ve given anyone in a long time!

For Rs 10: Rekindle forgotten talent

Buy a tiny pack of crayons. Take a break from your laptop, mobile,  other gadgets and apps. Rewind to your childhood and get lost in a world of doodles, houses, flowerpots, mountains and clouds.

For Rs 10: Fulfil a tiny wish

Buy a small piece of chocolate. Gift it to the small boy who sells peanuts or delivers newspapers or to the little girl who helps her mother sell flowers early in the morning. It’s something children always long for.

For Rs 10: Make a fashion statement

Indulge in some street shopping. Buy a cheap but interesting pair of earrings and make your friends curious.

Buy a slice of raw mango topped with chilli powder or a plate of by-two chaats. Even the fanciest chefs in high-end restaurants can’t beat the simple chatpata taste of street food.

Buy sheets of coloured paper. Make paper boats and marvel  when they float in rainwater. Make paper flowers and dress up your desk!

For Rs 10: Explore your neighbourhood

Buy a local bus or train ticket. There are wonderful things to see in your neighborhood. Don’t save them up for another day only because they’re so close by.  Get going and explore the world-of-its own that’s just a stop away.

For Rs 10: Show your humanity

Buy a small pack of bread or biscuits. Feed the local neighbourhood dog that wags its tail every time it sees you. You’ll win a friend for life.

Rs. 10 can buy us a small world of happiness. There’s so much more we can do with it than we ever imagined!

It’s not how much we have but what we do with it that matters.

Btw, just a reminder that there are many joys you don’t need money for: a hug, a kiss, a pat, a loving word, a smile and the list continues!
