The Power of 10!!

 
When I was in college (Mithibai), my dad used to give me 10 bucks as pocket money after carefully checking whether accidentally he hasn't given 2 tenners. I had my own saving of 2-5 bucks, but Dus ka patti is wot I got....
 
So over the years I've mastered the art of doing this with 10 Bucks, here are a few of 'em I would like to share  :))
 
  • 2 vada pav (Rs 8) + nimbu sherbet (Rs 2)
