GST discount deewane

Every Navratri, Ramesh transforms from mild-mannered accountant to Discount Avenger. He doesn't light diyas in preparation for Vijaya Dashami ahead - he lights up his credit card. His mantra? 'If GST is down from 18% to 5%, I'm saving money by spending it!'

So, he's bought a smart fridge that tells him when he's broke in five languages. He's eyeing a Bluetooth-enabled incense burner that syncs with his mood. Ramesh elbows three aunties and a toddler to grab the last box of LED fairy lights shaped like a popular politician's face. He doesn't know why.

Cyclical Economy

Festival season means gifts. And Ashish and Meena and their friends have been passing around the same box of dry fruit since 2011 among them. It's a tradition now: receive, pretend to be thrilled, rewrap, and pass it on like a karmic baton.

One year, Suresh added a motivational sticker: 'Believe in yourself'. The next year, it came back with 'Try harder'. In 2025, it reads: 'GDP IS GST!' Retailers sell 'Re-Gift Ready' hampers. For ₹999, you get a box, an imitation gold Ganesh idol, and a thank-you note that says, 'Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish This Navratri - Steve Jobs'.
