Kitchen, courier and gold
Indian kitchens constantly switch between grams and kilos — a recipe says 250 g of paneer, the shop sells by the kilo. Courier companies bill parcels in kg while your kitchen scale reads grams. And gold is priced per gram but discussed in tolas and kilos at family functions. Quick conversion keeps all three straight.
