Annual Eid celebrations

Clearly, the main activity of the annual Eid celebration remains attending a relative's residence. On this particular occasion, relatives make sure to see each other at home.  They are amused by a wide variety of dishes. The sweet flavour of the most significant meal, sewai , seems to be blending with joy and celebration. Even so, traditional recipes are significantly altered for the celebration.  During a visit to a relative's home, it became more apparent that not only did the dishes on the table resemble those of a five-star hotel, but also...  The golden-coloured cutlery placed on the table created the illusion of an upscale hotel. Each item placed on the table served as a reminder of the refined and opulent way of life.

Inflation impacts

Undeniably, price rise disturbs consumers at this point in time. There remains an apparent hike in the price of pulses. The moong dal prices have definitely gone upward. There is no way to deny it. 

Like the daily soaring temperature, prices are increasing. Whether it is wholesale or retail prices there remains a spurt in them. Even the data approve such trends in full details. However, the consumers find no cut in rising prices. 

The wholesale inflation has increased to 1.26% in April. This is the highest level of inflation in 13 months, as reports claim. 

So, this is bound to impact the retail prices. It cannot be denied altogether. But the common man has no other option than to humbly bear it. 

Earlier in March 2023, the wholesale inflation rate was 1.34%. Inflation has increased due to the increase in prices of food items, as the market trends show amply. 

Whereas a month before this, in March 2024, it was recorded at 0.53%. Whereas wholesale inflation was 0.20% in February and 0.27% in January respectively. 

Wholesale inflation was 0.20% in February and 0.27% in January. Food inflation increased from 4.65% to 5.52%. 

The inflation rate of daily goods has really increased from 4.51% to 5.01%. With perhaps the exception of concern over inflation, all of these trends have criticised the comfort-driven straight expectations of traditional consumers. 

However, food items have become expensive since April. The inflation rate in March 2024 was 4.85%. The food inflation rate has increased from 8.52% to 8.78%.
