The picture above shows beautiful
sheets of drawing paper including some extra large sheets of excellent
imported paper at half the price I pay for a sheet of Canson. I also got 100 sheets
of regular tracing paper to cover my work.
For the 20 years I've been going to
Marudhar Papers, I struggled with them in my Hindi and they struggled with me
with their English. There was a certain amount of brusqueness from them.
Discounts were grudging. Then this time suddenly a barrier broke when I
tried Kannada and they, Marwadis, replied in perfect Kannada. I praised them:
How well you speak Kannada! They blushed and became extra accommodating.
"We know you have been coming to us for a long time!" Just before I
left they said, "Wait madam, gift, gift!" and gifted me this nice
spiral bound notebook. I am totally floored.
