The price hike that truly haunts my home is rice — our everyday essential. Before: Rs. 3,500 for a 10kg bag After: Rs. 5,800 for the same 10kg Rice isn’t a luxury for us, it’s survival. It’s on our table almost every day, feeding the whole family. When the price jumped, it didn’t just hit the wallet — it changed portions, meals, and peace of mind. We now think twice before cooking freely, and that constant calculation feels exhausting. Another ghost is cooking oil. Before: Rs. 450 per liter After: Rs. 850 per liter Its absence is felt in smaller meals, less frying, and adjusting traditional dishes we grew up with. Inflation didn’t just raise prices — it quietly stole comfort from our kitchens. These aren’t numbers anymore… they’re daily reminders of what’s slipping away. 👻💔
