Start selling nariyal pani.
Seriously.
I have got all the maths worked out, thanks to a friendly chat with my nariyalpaniwala bhaiyaji last evening.
He sells 150 coconuts every day.
He hawks each coconut for Rs. 50. His purchase price is Rs. 33.
So his profit on each coconut is Rs. 17.
So his monthly income is Rs. 17 x 150 coconuts x 30 days = Rs. 78,500.
(This, of course, is not his net profit for we are not taking into account the hafta he has to shell out to the cops, the local dada, the municipal guys, etc. But even after all these deductions, and assuming that he works every day for at least eight hours throughout the month, his take-home should still be cool).
