A man walks into a supermarket and asks for a loaf of bread. The cashier says, 'That'll be ₹200.'

The man gasps, 'But last week it was ₹100!'

Cashier [shrugs]: That's inflation.


Man [sighs]: Fine, I'll take it.

Cashier: Oh, sorry, I meant per slice. The loaf is now a subscription service. You pay monthly, and we'll deliver one slice at a time. Bread is now SaaS: Sandwich as a Service.

A man tours a tiny apartment. The realtor says, 'It's 200 sq ft, but very cosy.'

Man: And the rent?

Realtor: Only ₹50,000 a month. But think of it as an investment in vibes. Plus, the walls are made of recycled PowerPoint slides from failed startups.

The man signs the lease. He now lives in a TED Talk.
