These days, an old diary is being discussed on social media which has taken people straight to the past. This diary is from the time of the man’s grandfather in which he had ordered ration for his birthday celebration. Today, where the pocket becomes lighter as soon as one steps into the market, the pages of this diary show that even a rupee once had value. People are surprised to see this diary and are wondering whether such a time really existed.

Old calculations shocked the senses

In this diary which is going viral, the household expenses around the year 1989 are written. The biggest discussion is regarding the price of sugar, where about 60 kg of sugar was purchased for just Rs 420. Nowadays, one has to spend thousands of rupees to buy this much sugar. This figure alone is enough to tell at what speed inflation has increased in the last few decades. This entire bill is related to the birthday celebration of two real brothers named Pinku and Rinku. In whose party grandfather had spent all this money.

Shocked by the price of potatoes and spices

Not only sugar, but also the prices of other everyday items are recorded in the diary, which is surprising the people. About 32 kg of potatoes were purchased for only Rs 32, i.e. one rupee per kg. In today’s time, even a small snack cannot be bought for that much money. Turmeric, salt and other spices were also available at very low prices, which clearly shows that running a household was much easier in those times.
