Khoon choos liya

"Tum mujhe khoon do, main tumhe aazadi doonga" said Netaji several years ago.
Today the lab technician says "Tum mujhe khoon do, main tumhe 30,000 ka bill doonga"

Yes, Rs.30,000 is what my blood tests cost. Khoon bhi gaya, paise bhi gaye.

Times are a changing.

1 tube of blood = to Rs. 30000/-
1 bottle of blood = ?

Good no they don't take one bottle of blood for testing. Small no no big mercies.

Well, they almost took a bottle. In all there were 10 tubes... not filled to the brim, but still that's lots of blood. Oh! I feel faint. Somebody get me a chocolate cake.
