My Mouth Was Watering, My Pocket Was Empty — The Real Price of Fragrance

It was Sunday, I went out for a walk to the market, and when I wandered around the market and saw the beauty, I was walking slowly along the banks of the new canal when my eyes fell on my favorite fruit. If it is summer, I like watermelons and melons the most. I try to go wherever there is a watermelon or melon crop and bring fresh watermelons and melons home. But there is a fruit called Sarja Sarja. This fruit is exactly like a melon, but its sweetness and taste are very amazing. I like this Sarja, which we also call Garma in our language. We call it Garma in our language, so this is also one of my favorite fruits. I don't know whether to call it a fruit or a vegetable, but it is exactly like a melon, but its taste and shape are much bigger than a melon. It is very large in size, its size can be up to 10 kg or 20 kg, but the size of a melon is two kg or if it is a very large melon, it will be three kg. So while traveling, I came across this pile of summer or snow.
I want to inform you about one thing here that when I converted my writing into English, I was writing the name of this fruit as Summer, so I did not delete or format it, but now I will call this fruit by the name of Melon so that you can get better pleasure in writing. When I was walking slowly on the bank of the canal, I saw a pile of these melons, which we call Garma or Sarma in our language, so their fragrance and color were attracting everyone who came and went. The fragrance of melon attracts a person and the melon whose fragrance is more, its sweetness will be even more. It is said that if a melon is fragrant, its fragrance emanates from it, then you can close your eyes and eat this melon and enjoy its sweetness. When I felt the fragrance, I came to this pile of melons and I picked up my favorite, which is my melon. I wanted to buy some, but when I asked the price of one kilo, I was shocked. He said, "You will get a kilo for 300 rupees, let's say one dollar for one kilo." But let me tell you that there is a lot of inflation in our country. At the moment, inflation is at its peak. If I say that the inflation in our country is a thousand times higher than the inflation in our neighboring countries, many people can feel the pile of melons from afar or up close, but they cannot taste them. Because if they taste them, then they cannot fulfill their daily needs. Because if a person's income is five dollars, how can he buy or eat a fruit worth one dollar per kilo? And let me also tell you that the price of most fruits here is above 300 per kilo.

In this way, I asked the prices of melons and then took some pictures, videos and selfies. But I will say one more thing here and write here that if your purchasing power is low and your favorite fruit is in front of you and you do not have the power to buy it, then always pray to Allah that Allah blesses my income. But invest some or the other part of your income on your favorite fruits and eat it yourself and feed your children. It is not necessary that you buy fruits every month. Some day or the other, you will definitely buy fruits and spend more than your means. Allah Almighty will bless it. And those who fulfill their desires through their hard work, Allah always supports them. So this is a hypothetical thing that I wrote here. I was telling you about the melons. When I reached these melons, I saw this big pile and felt the fragrance emanating from it. Then I weighed some melons. I picked up some melons weighing about 10 kg and asked the shop owner to take a selfie with them. I picked up these melons weighing more than 10 kg and took a selfie with them. I want to give you some more information here. That information is that this fruit, this melon, that you are looking at is very rare in our country. If it is, it is grown in Balochistan province, in Quetta. But most of its supply comes from Afghanistan and Iran. Since the situation in our country is not going well with Iran and Afghanistan, that is why their prices are on the rise this year. And since the supply is low, if the supply that is there is, it spoils quickly. Thus, it is cultivated very little in our country.

But one more thing is true that when these goods are brought to the big markets, the shopkeepers buy them at cheap prices and then put them in big piles on the road and charge a high price. Similarly, if you go to the market, you will get half the price. When these sellers are asked, "Why are you charging them so high while the price in the market is very low?" their answer is that the expenses of going from the market to the market, paying taxes and commissions in the market, and all these things combined, the expenses we incur are much more than the market price. In this way, each person has to make a profit, so he then sells each item with his own profit. Similarly, when goods are brought here from foreign countries or from other countries, some goods get spoiled on the way. Sometimes, due to the closure of roads, the goods remain in trucks and containers for a long time, which causes The condition of the goods deteriorates, so it is sold in the markets after adding all the expenses and then it is sold from the markets to shops or on big piles on the road. In this way, their prices are determined according to the circumstances and events. So these are just hypothetical things that I sat down to write here, but when I took a selfie with these melons, I decided to buy them and then I bought a five-kg melon and when I took this melon home, we cut it and cooled it in the freezer. When I ate it after cooling it, it was full of very tasty sweetness.

There are many types of these melons, the most famous of which is Quetta, which is cultivated in Quetta, and is also very sweet. In addition, the most popular melon is the Afghan melon, which we call Qabil melon. The size and color of this melon are completely unique. Qabil melon is mostly white with stripes on it, and thus it is known as Qabil melon in our area. Qabil melon is very popular and eaten because it has the most sweetness. In addition, Quetta melon is also popular. In this way, melons from many regions come, and their taste is named according to their own name and region. If I talk about the season, this fruit is mostly available in the summer season, and now since the summer season has ended and the winter season has begun, So this crop is expensive now because its season has ended and it has become an unseasonal fruit. Now when people see it, they feel like eating it because it is not in season now, but still it is emitting a fragrance, attracting those around it, and seeing it makes our mouths water anyway, hearing about its sweetness. That is why I also thought it necessary to write here that the winter season has just begun, winter is coming and going, and summer is over, the summer season has left, so the season of this fruit has also left, and now this fruit is an unseasonal fruit that is attracting us.

This fruit is cultivated in every country and every region and the taste and sweetness depend on the soil of that country and that region. The more delicious the soil of that region is, the more fertile it is, the more sweetness it will have. I have seen people of every country eating this fruit. It is not a rare fruit, but its sweetness makes it rare. In this way, I have said that this crop is cultivated in Quetta and other areas. Similarly, this crop must be grown on the land of some area of ​​every country. This crop is also cultivated in the mountains, it must be in the deserts, it must be in the deserts and it must be there too. The land here is fertile and similarly, whichever land accepts it, where its crop production is good, people must be cultivating it on that land. So this was my short article today, a story of a journey that I have shared with you and shared my thoughts and feelings with all of you. I hope you will enjoy my article. You will definitely like this article and you have to tell me in the comments what is the name of this fruit called melon or garma in your area and how sweet it is and whether you like it or not.
