If you are a bengali you are surely going to hear this iconic line from vegetable venders and fruit sellers-

-100 taka kore bikri korsi shobar kase apnar jonno shudu 90 taka.
(I SOLD THE PRODUCT FOR 100 taka to EVERYONE BUT I WILL GIVE IT AWAY ONLY FOR 90 taka,ONLY FOR U).

Customers be like,"Am I your lost sibiling for which you are showing me that mercy."

Another iconic line from vegetable venders and fruit sellers-

-"Shokal bela aro besi dam e bikri korsi,bikal dekhe to dam ekhon kom".

-"Yeah,yeah I have a spiritual connection with you".

Bengali ladies have an epic line which they use to emotionally melt the shopkeepers,

-"Don't ask high money only because I am a lady".

Fish sellers are the most savage of them all like they will ask 1000 taka from you and if you try to bargain he will merely say,"Eat salting trough real fish is not for you".
But cloth sellers of malls are in another level like they will asks 5000 and will settle the whole thing in 1000 and also you can find that same product with little low quality in 600 taka at footpath(specially in Gulistan).Gulistan is like a footpath version of Dubai mall.

Sometime when I go to market with my mother when they asks like 5000 taka for any cloth.My mom replies," look,let's settle in a round figure i will give you 1200."
Me like,"Oh,god."

But at the end of the day she wins the bargain war.

***Oh!My god how poor my translation skill is! Another not so funny chapter.
