“Once when I was about 10 years old, my uncle commented in passing that the ultimate tourist destination was London. It had been my dream ever since,” says the Saha, now a 48-year-old with a wife and two college-going children. But they are not as fresh as the ones we sell in India.”Peas cost Rs 150/kg there but Saha sells them for Rs 40, jhinge cost Rs 120/kg, Saha sells them at Rs 40. “As it is, I did not tell my wife how much the trip cost. I didn't want to burn an even bigger hole in our pockets.” Saha makes about Rs 20,000 a month and the London trip had cost him more than Rs 60,000.
