So the price of petrol has increased again and the issue will be played on across various channels with the opposition constantly berating the present government about their lack of focus. While the focus on India shining seems to be taking center stage we the people are the ones who suffer at the strategies of supposed improved economics. So where does India shine? In the bellies of the poverty struck person roaming the streets looking for a fix in the garbage dumps using half used glue to stop the hunger pangs? Or the middle class household, trying to balance out their income-expenditure for the month? However, even though every single necessity is at a high, salaries and fee structures are at the same level! So how does one balance the economic needs of man? The choices are so limited that there is no time for romance! All we do is cut back so that we have some savings for the constant rainy days!
We have people in office who take an oath to do their bit for the common man - but it is getting bleaker by the moment and we are reeling and still trying to find the silver lining. The never ending dip in the interest rates at banks and the limited long term goals for the future seem to be dwindling away faster than the speed of light. But we have hope… we have faith… that the people in office have the power and their principles are in place. There are many however who may disagree and refer to their flow charts as a means to an end for the present party. But we stand together with belief that they are working for our benefit. So I say here, we elected a good, secular, honest party to stay in power for the second term around, but can you please look at our needs and consider that we are reeling? Please?!
There are also a good many who claim to have solutions to the global crises, but let us settle the domestic crises first!? Can we have the prices of all perishable goods at a reasonable price so that we, the common man - or the aam aadmi as we are called, survive? The spiraling equation is driving us up in arms and many of us are losing sleep about the next beam we need to balance. As a person who believes that things will pan out, how can I look at the domestic help and inform her that even though things are hitting a high, I cannot increase her salary? How is it possible? When I am stuck at the level crossing unsure of what is going to hit me next?
But as a positive citizen, I live in hope. With a view that the people at the top will consider our woes, look into the dos and don'ts work on their SOP’s and get cracking on what is required for the public. What is annoying is the fact that once the term reaches the end, promises are aplenty. Heck I’m pretty certain the price of petrol may roll back to a crazed pitch encouraging us to vote for XYZ because of new policy changes for the people.
With a firm hope and faith in the constitution and as a citizen of a growing nation, I know that the pot at the end of the rainbow will bring some gold. Do you agree with me on this or am I just living in a fool’s paradise? As Susan Boyle sings the song beautifully - I dream a dream that works of the people, by the people and for the people.
God bless.
