“Tender exact change”
is not a new or a latest legend written at public places like
ticket-counters of railway, bus-station etc..
It might amuse the
youngsters of present day, in India, if I say that when I was a kid
of 6, and till my-15... people were keen to avoid giving out that
'exact-change', especially at places where others have the luxury of
staring at 'how this fellow dispenses cash'... Somebody giving the
exact-change is by 'default' regarded as a person who
just-managed/barely-managed the amount needed to get that commodity
{with a cinema ticket, it turns a little 'humiliating' too, when it
seems to convey the meaning that he can't afford the next-higher
class! And if at all, somebody pays the 'exact-change' for the
highest class, the insult is at-its-worst, because the 'popular
meaning' is... 'once in a life-time for him! :-)) ...}
It is only when people started saying a 'thank you sir', when I give out exact-change now...
that I realised the 'latent'(or subtle) significance of it...

small coins carry no
value, except that of a 'nuisance'.. (what we call as
'nuisance-value' !)...
Most people don't mind if
the 'balance' is not handed over back...
That makes the 'insult' or 'humiliation' to turn the 'other-way' now :-)) ... Somebody who insists for a refund of 'small' coin out of say Rs.10/- (anything below Rs.5/- is looked at as a 'nuisance-himself'...!)

When a one-rupee coin
can't by anything... {by the way... 50-paise coin is still a
legal-tender :-))...}... the attitude is “why is this idiot
causing nuisance for that coin to be refunded?”..
I know... the memories of those who are above 50 would by now be flooded with so-many-thing they had bought with coins of 1-paise, two-paise, 3-paise and even 5-paise!

“Speak/reply ...
to-the-point”
is the emphasis on the volley of advices 'tendered' to a prospective candidate going for a job-interview, or an 'admission-interview'...

Tendering 'exact' words
too... made a lot of sense in the ancient days!
People attributed a lot of value to each spoken word...
When 'many do this'... without any 'dictum' from any union, association, or a religion like thing, the phenomenon is that of a 'Unison'... (a crude form of the 'subtle-sense' of the word called Yoga, Unity)...

Today, even an advocate, a
vakil, who is 'supposed' to have practiced, tested-for, qualified to
speak only and only-to-the-point (that is what the so called
'civil-procedure-code' is mostly-about )... even there, the Judge is
unable to 'apply' his mind judiciously, before delivering the
judgement... and it is perhaps therefore that Judges prefer to
'hear' by 'case-laws' rather than by enacted-sections of codified
law!
Now ,
what about 'exact-change' that a mind is supposed to deliver to us, when our life demands a fast-pace on the outside?
That stupid-stupid thing that a salesperson is selling to us, seems to pose a huge threat, not because the thing being sold is 'so-complex' or it's use-even... Just that we aren't receptive enough to look-out for the 'exact-change' that we want, and we end up buying 'old-stock' , higher-MRP wala from the pick-up shelf (for the same stuff)... a loosely packed thing with some drain hole somewhere... etc..

Are we not struggling for
an 'exact-change', when even simple words like love, trust, honesty,
etc brings a wide-spectrum of conflicting and confusing meanings
churned out by our own mind?...
Now (in... the present day scenario)... the exactitude is trying to vie around only slang acronyms like LoL, ROFL, KFPH... etc (where some remnants of exact can be seen... make it into a group of words, and we scramble for that grammatical rule of a sentence, being a group of words that makes 'complete sense'... we need a few-sentences, to get the sense of what used to be a small-and-single sentence!)

Spiritual business
seems to be the one, of the most 'exacting-standards' when even the
perception is needed to be an 'exact-change' while receiving inputs!
{otherwise,
keep counting the 'change/s' for quite a few life-times! :-))

Exactly yours,
