Understanding GST by a common man

These days we find GST everywhere like Pokémon Go; we come across reports, news, articles, interviews and editorials on GST in the media. But a common man like me does not comprehend what they are talking about. First they talk about a cap; we know cap is a kind of hat. They make things more complicated when they say, cap should be 18 or 19 or 20 or 21 so on and so forth. I think one cap is more than enough; I also have only one cap, rather a monkey – cap.
