Budget 2010, a fueling frustration..!

Union Budget is all about economic of forecasting. John Kenneth Galbraith said about the 'economic of forecasting and I quote "The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable." Incidentally it is the "Aam Aadmi’s" blind faith in 'astrology' that is keeping the ritual of union budget a standard of 'great expectation' for him.

The impact of year 2010 union budget will defiantly remain our media’s most discussed and widely analyzed affair in the coming days. However it will be the "Aam Aadmi" who will be bearing the brunt of this budget. You will see how the tiny hike in the cost of petrol and diesel will add fuel to the already speeding prices of "kitchen essentials". It will be any economist’s delight watching the "Aam Aadmi" coping with life, as prices will start shooting to new heights "break less" and "unabated". Again an "Aam Aadmi" would have preferred a rise in the minimum taxable limit instead of a stretch on the taxing slabs.

Being the first budget of this decade I wish that the Finance Minister's outlay of 46 percent to "infrastructure" yield some positive results. Let us assume for now that we can very soon hope to see our streets 'well lighted', 'manholes' well covered and our "NANO" "rides" on the Indian roads remain a well deserving driver's delight.

By the way it will be ridiculous of us to see the 'opposition party's walk out today as their gesture of sympathy to the "Aam Aadmi" Let us grow up and understand that all the politicians at the end of the day remain a "fine tuned" scoundrels.

I wish and hope that the days ahead does not prove "budget 2010,a fueling frustration..!

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
