Patel Bhai's PC

I wouldn't blame you if you thought I meant Patel Bhai's Personal Computer. Our local desi grocery store has this humongous number crunching machine at the check-out desk which spits out a bill that typically looks like

Indian Grocery £1.79
Indian Grocery £1.59
Indian Grocery £1.09
TOTAL £4.47

Next time, you are in London, be sure to visit The Calculator Museum of London on Drummond Street and watch Patel Bhai's Personal Calculator in action!

  1. The street side vendors in Bombay on Fashion Street etc call their calculators as "Dimag". So when you buy more than one item and they have to add up the total, the boss will scream to his underling "Aye, dimag la" and the underling will bring out the calculator!!
