The post was shared by Mohan Pargaien, a retired Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer
Mohan Pargaien, a retired Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer shared a hilarious image on X, showcasing a meticulously handwritten guide for buying vegetables from the market. The list, penned by his wife, provided step-by-step guidance for grocery shopping, with clear instructions. From specifying the brand and quantity of each item to providing tips on selecting the right shape of vegetable, the list had it all. The guide gave specific notes for each vegetable, such as selecting tomatoes that are a mix of yellow and red, with strict warnings to avoid any that are loose or have holes.
For potatoes, medium size was the requirement, with a crucial detail: no green-eyed spuds allowed. Fenugreek, also known as methi, had its own set of precise guidelines: good leaves, no holes, and compact growth. The guide also included drawings for selecting the right shape and size of vegetables like chilli, spinach and onion.
''While going for the market for vegetables my wife shared with me this, stating that you can use this as a guide,'' Mr Pargaien wrote while sharing the picture.
