I lost it a little bit now. Maybe ab khoon itna garam nahi raha…

I used to be the lemon squeezer in the good old days, back in pakistan.
I remember once I even got into a really TIGHT spot in Darra (Peshawar) where I offered like Rs. 100 , for a T T , for which the khan bhai was asking Rs. 800. He thought it was an attack on his Pakhtoo

Now I do bargain, never let an opportunity pass. Not with the same vigour tough

Some khans will not sell anything without a haggle.

I remeber once in Lahore we were chatting at Mall and a person was haggling with a khan who was selling a carpet. Khan went as low as 700 Rs but this guy did not want to par more than 500, so he left. One of my friend said to this khan that he will buy it for 700, but Khan said, no, i will give for 800 not less. He said you were just ready to offer it for 700 to other guy, he said coz he haggled with me for so lang thats why. So my frind started haggling and eventually bought it for 650.
