this is a salesmans' world

sale sale sale..... everything is selling here. everyone is a salesman in todays world. bygone are the days when salesman means a person of this or that brand whose sole object in life was to sell you the vaccum cleaner or the water purifier or whatever.(and they had an amazing power of convincing my dad)
nowadays, the handwritten placards, proclaimming "salesmen are not allowed", in front of the buildings has become almost meaningless. what do we mean by 'salesman'? a person who sales something.
journalists are selling the agony of people for a sensational news. moviemakers are selling the lavishness of indian festivals for a foreign award. students are selling their brains for a better loking pay cheque. wanna-be-moviestars are selling themselves for a carrer.poets are selling complexicity for accolades. people are selling body parts as advertising ground for money. etc...etc...
and we still look down upon those poor girls who couldn't help selling themselves at the narrow lanes for their breads and butter.......
p.s.:i'm selling this post for attracting comments

You got comment. Your salesmanship worked.

Spammers are like salesman, so we need to have a word verification in place.
