This morning I felt directionless, but now I have a new dream to follow: avocado's. Life is funny, isn't it? I hope I succeed.

In the meantime... I wish you better luck in finding those much yearned for blueberries.🤞🏻

If I can succeed in buying an Avocado, everyone can.

And thank you for mission Blueberry!

I wonder if delivery boy has had his first avocado or not even after delivering 100s of one. For how long will he have to wait if hadn't.

That's a good thing to think on. Nonetheless, he/she isn't missing out on anything.

thanks Abhishek.

Blueberries one might take time. Saving for them will require a mammoth effort

Hahaha! I remember my avocado. Cut it open before it was ripe. A waste. Got another and waited until it was spoilt—another waste. Ever since, I just eat it in a cafe. :P

Good luck with blueberries

You're on a different plane altogether. Wasted two avocados. Wow. Avocado Gods must be angry with you! xP

Still paying the loan I took to buy them :P

Understandable. Do you want to start a fund for helping us buy blueberries?

This is hysterical . Good luck in the blueberry business. But don't eat too many of them before you do a sales presentation or you may end up running out the door. High fiber food tends to give you the runs.😉

That's really kind of you Kathleen.

I duly acknowledge the tip that you've given. Whenever the big day arrives, I'll remember this comment. Who says internet doesn't have helpful souls?

I'll be careful this time. I'll make all middle class folks proud. 😎

Hahaha! I had the same experience. Avocado turned out more bitter than the bitter gourd. I still haven't been able to move on from that heartbreak. Must say it hurt more than a breakup 💔

I can totally relate to it. Want to join a support group? xP

This was funny and relatable! I remember the first time I bought an avocado (just a few years ago), it felt like I finally made it in life, a milestone that I accomplished after all these years of hard work. And I hope I don't sound ostentatious, but now I frequently enjoy guacamole on my breakfast toast...lol.

I thought that you lived a life similar to mine, but I was wrong. You've achieved financial freedom and are already above Maslow's pyramid.

Happy for you Sonaakshi. I am jealous though xP

Hahaha....It's not that. I've just learned to make better choices....like swapping a family pack of Maggie with one avocado. (I usually get it for 80-90 rs in my city) :D

P.S. I made a typo in my comment, which I've fixed now. That changed the whole feeling of my comment.

My wife would never agree to swap Maggi with anything. I'll have to look for some other item to sacrifice 😂

Sometime last year, Fruitwaale Bhaiyya said, “Yeh ek le jaao aap aise hi. Log nahi kharidenge kyonki ajeeb dikhta hai. Bekaar mein sar jaayega”

And that’s how I cut and devoured my first Avocado! 😎Without breaking my savings!

Because looks matter in the fruit world too!

He just got free from the Karmic cycles. And felt so good to see fruits getting judged too. Why should only we suffer? 😂

But you're so lucky Namrata!

Wow. Avocadabara. Loved it. I have never had avocado toast because you cannot just order an avocado toast at a restaurant. You have to earn it by becoming rich first. Loved how you have explained this middle class struggle for having an avocado!!!

Thank you for the kind words fellow non-rich human. Hopefully one day we will be able to have one toast each!

Ah, such lavish dreams.

Hahaha! I read this while eating my cheese and avocado on toast. Expensive cheese could be your next big dream- your fellow middle class person chasing the avocado dream!

Sorry I don't relate to you.

If I get it right, you ate not one, but two expensive items in your breakfast?

Living without a few organs would be tough no? xP
