Why does it still rain in India?

Alright, this is nothing about rain.
The last few weeks I've been scouting Adyar area shops for a set of Sanyo Eneloop batteries. These are the best alternative to Alkaline Duracells in the rechargeable world. Unfortunately, I could not find any.
So, I tried to give ebay.in a shot and to my surprise I found a few sellers selling those. However, I needed four batteries to power my strobe /Flash unit and so I ordered a charger and a set of four batteries from an online vendor.
The vendor had listed the charger to ship free and a fifty rupee charge for shipping the battery. Fair enough I thought and coughed up the money.
The seller was prompt and shipped it out within two hours of my ordering it and I received it the third day! I received a tiny surprise when I opened the shipment!
Tucked deep inside and wrapped in a sheet of paper was fifty rupees! The seller had bundled the charger and the batteries together and had refunded my fifty rupees shipping charge!
Well, as logical as it may sound, I was quite taken aback at the honesty of this vendor! The honesty of this vendor came as quite a shock and surprise having gotten used to all vendors always asking more for their wares! Here is a vendor who is honest to his profession!
May he prosper! His name is basco4u and he sells in ebay!

Does this answer the question?
