Finally, I Have Fan in My Room. But What do I Call it?

A fan that made me think deep.
Fan, a luxury good ?
or
Fan, a necessity good?

I finally got fan in my room. Being an Economics Student, I don't know as to which class of commodity it will fall under. Because as per my economic knowledge, a fan in hot and humid place can rightly be classified as necessity goods. I think its also income and price inelastic commodity. This means a fan in hot and humid place is also equivalent to commodities like salt, rice and cooking oil in our homes. 

For now, I am making it function round the clock because, it feels too good under a functioning fan when the temperature outside is already souring to their dizzy heights. If water boils at 100 degree Celsius, then I survived the heat that is near it's half.


Courtesy to being human, I think I have adjusted well. I survived  more than a month with no fan. Once again, thanks to my friend, Kruti and her Mom, I am blessed with a small table fan. But with two free riders in my room, a table fan at times was no fan for us, because it did little to cool three of us.


Whatever, its a fan in a room, in a place called Gujarat. You can have your own classification and definition  of luxury goods and necessity goods.

My Borrowed table fan.
