Nowadays there is no red pomegranate season and no Pakistani stored pomegranate is available in the market. But without pomegranate, fruit chart is not fun. I thought let's go out to the market and look for pomegranates. When I saw pomegranates in a shop, I asked the shopkeeper to weigh a kilo of pomegranate without asking the rate. He took four pomegranates in my hand and said give me twelve hundred rupees. I said, "Oh, pomegranate or a little meat." The shopkeeper further said that these are the seedless pomegranates of Turkey. That's the rate. I said open half the pomegranate and get it checked, if it is seedless then I will take it. The shopkeeper opened the pomegranate with a knife and checked me.After checking, it turned out to be a seedless pomegranate, so I told the shopkeeper that it was overcooked due to the heat, so I did not take it. The shopkeeper said that you have touched this pomegranate, now you have to take it. I said, "What if my hand touches you?" From then on, the shopkeeper became angry and started shouting. Just then I came home empty handed
