Real Nonsense
by Waqaas Rumani on Apr 04, 2008 06:12 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Yes prices are high. But for your kind information, I have never heard of Evian Water. Heard Bisleri Water bottles, Aquafina, Oxyrich etc. They cost around 15 Rs per Litre. So I don't know from where is this person quoting this brand and price. Unless he paid that much in a 5 star Hotel. And if he quoting that price, then he is Stupid.

As for Prices, If he thinks Price of Water is costlier in India only, He needs to come to terms with reality. In Gulf regions, A litre of Water costs 50 Rupees, Whereas Petrol costs 10 rupees per litre and Cold drinks cost around 55 rupees per litre. . The article title generated interest. But the Quotations and price tag given is really Misleading.

It's like telling People Cars are cheaper then Bicycles. Because you can get a Maruti 800 for 1.2 lacs, whereas BMW mountain Bicycles cost around 3 lacs also ! Really Utter Madness.

The Writer is trying to connect with the common citizen who is agrieved at the high rates, but is really misleading them by manipulating the Data. This is very bad Journalism.
