Crying over onions? There's chicken soup for Mumbai's souls

Mumbaikars are weeping and it’s all thanks to the skyrocketing prices of onions. 

The prices of onions at Lasangaon, Asia’s largest onion market, witnessed a record price of Rs 55 -- the highest in five years. As a result, retailers have started jacking up their rates to Rs 70-80 per kg.

At such a time, surprising as it may be, the price of chicken is cheaper than that of onions -- Rs 65/kg. The prices of chicken have fallen owing to the holy month of Shravan, during which many Hindus refrain from eating non-vegetarian.

So, we suggest ditch the onions and feast on chicken till the prices come down.

Sorry vegetarians our hearts and stomachs go out to you. :-)
