Just imagining how the dialogue between India and France has progressed over the years, I have crated a dialogue but by replacing jets with fruit for some fun. Hope Indians have sense of humour and are able to laugh together with us. You intended it or not, it is a funny situation.
Consider India and France are both humans. India visits a fruit market and finds France selling fruit on a nicely decorated shop.
India: Namashtay mate, I need 12 bananas urgently, need pale, ripe and long ones and we will pay you $12 bucks at most.
France: Sure, I have got a special bunch, all pale, ripe and long bananas and they come with additional aroma which is amazing and I am happy with your price. Let’s have a deal.
India: Aroma is not enough if you want to offer something for free, what about a free apple if I buy all 12 bananas I asked?
France: Yep... I can give you apple at discounted price. They are great and come with red skin, are very juicy and carry a great aroma. They just came fresh from trees short while ago.
India: If they came from trees straight to you, why can these apples not grow in our garden and reach us fresh as they reached you?
France: Yes they can, let me pack your bananas and we can talk about apples and trees.
India: No no no - we need to decide apples with bananas or we wouldn't buy bananas at all. And if you want to sell bananas anyway, we will also need a smaller banana for free.
France: You were just happy having 12 bananas all according to your specification a bit earlier, this apple thing is a different requirement but if you want them together, I will sell you a kilo of apples for $10.
India: and the free smaller banana?
France: That wasn't in your original requirements but I have offered you banana aroma as bonus. Now if you buy apples, I will get you one small banana free.
India: Free banana is actually a part of 12 bananas, it is still a banana and cannot be considered coming because of we buying apples. We want apples but there will be something free with them separately. Now tell me about apple trees, we want to grow them.
French: Sir our talk is going long, bananas are rotting and you had mentioned you need them urgently. If you may pay me now I will start packing them and along the way we can talk about apples.
India: Actually apple tree and their seeds interests me more than banana now. Let’s talk about seeds first. But we wouldn't know if your seeds are good or not, we need to try few apples before that and you’re going to offer them free or we won't buy your apple seeds.
France: I do not deal in apple seeds, but apples only. I will give you 20% discount on apples and also the free banana you wanted with other apples. Do we have a deal?
India: No I have heard your brother deals in apple seeds, you being his brother can influence and get us a price and if you wouldn't, we wouldn't get that 20% discount and the free banana along with 12 bananas we are paying you far.
France: But sir my brother is on holidays, I will need to travel to a different city to talk to him.
India: Okay then buy a ticket for two of us, let’s go and on our way back, I will get 30% discount on apples and two free bananas or we don't have a deal.
France: Sir there is just one free banana and 20% discount but I can talk to my brother and visit him by spending money for the ticket, but you'll need to pay your ticket to travel along me.
India: If you guarantee your brother will sell us apple seed at 40% discount, I will pay the ticket and if he didn't give us this much discount, we are going to get 40% discount on your apples and you will also give us a free delivery.
France: Sir I cannot guarantee if he would offer you discount... You are trying to hang too much. Now let me cut a deal here, I am offering you 12 bananas at $8 and nothing free with it. Apples are not on sale today.
India: Wait a minute... my requirement is changing... we need 11 ripe and 1 unripe banana and they must have a rattle fitted with them all - with an option to attach a night light. And when we travel to the city where your brother is located, we will travel in your shoes as we don't want ours to be worn out in your interest. After all your brother is getting rich by selling us apple seeds and he is likely to offer you commission for you helping him grow richer.
Another question; are your bananas water proof?
