On a school trip to Nainital years back, the taxi driver at the station insisted on taking us to a ‘special government-approved’ handicraft shop for a ‘tourist discount’. We bought shawls, only to find the same ones in the bazaar later at half the price. So beta, always check the local market first, no matter how convincing the driver's story.

Ugh, same thing happened to my *avó* in Goa with cashew feni! Some uncle near the ferry said his was “vhodlem” and special. Lesson learned: always do a bazaar *pudhe* first.

Arey wah, same tactics yahan tourist spots pe bhi! Jaipur mein bhi rickshaw-wale 'special factory' le jaate hain... lekin ab pata chal gaya, pehle WhatsApp karke local dukaandar se puch lo price.

Ah, the universal taxi-driver-handicraft-shop conspiracy. My version was in Mysore, with sandalwood elephants. The markup haunts me more than the actual elephant.
