I like coriander a lot those leaves and the paste of that coriander. But today there was no coriander in my house, and me without coriander paste is the same as a river without water.
I went outside to buy some, and on my way to the market I observed so many things. In one shop where I went to buy chewing gum (mint flavor), I saw the shopkeeper arguing with a man who had bought some alcohol from him. The customer was saying he gave money, but the shopkeeper was saying, “No, you didn’t.”
The shopkeeper was about to slap the customer, but an old man stood between them I think he was a mediator. Then the shopkeeper showed the CCTV footage. From the footage, it was clearly seen that the shopkeeper was right, and then the customer said sorry — literally sorry. I think he was Intoxicant , a hangover of alcohol.MAY BE
I was just silently observing them. Then I bought my chewing gum and started walking. While walking some distance, I saw a rat ; he or maybe she, who knows but it was small. The rat was running along the footpath corner. I think he was running for his life, terrified… who knows? Or maybe just jogging. But the speed was faster than a cheetah, I’m sure.
Now the distance between me and the coriander shop was getting less. I saw an electric rickshaw driver waiting for passengers maybe, but what made me excited was how chill he was, listening to music on his keypad mobile. I think it was a Nokia mobile. I wish to be chill like him and let all bad things go. Just chill. Try, try, but don’t cry.
I arrived at the vegetable shop and the owner was looking so innocent and needy. I wished he would achieve what he wants to. But he tried to scam me — let me tell you how. He gave me less change intentionally, and when I pointed it out, then he gave me the rest.
But at least I got what I needed.
Mission completed: coriander bought.hell yeahh!!!
Lesson I learned: No one gives a fuck about you. Everyone will try to get benefit from you if they can. Sometimes the people you want to help don’t see you with the same perspective.

I like your style of writing, it's very engaging and human. But I have to wonder if it's not just the desperation of people nowadays that drives them to try to deceive... I like to think that people are generally good, but a cornered rat will bite.
Makes sense.
