The Year That Is Bad
How things can be bad. Just six months before the gas price was just $3.00 per gallon. Now this weekend I had to pay $3.98.
And if you are not really impressed with that. Lets talk about sensex. Well I invest in India. Sensex was coolly placed with a pride of hot and happening India at 20973 on January 08 2008. Now on its 16275. I have lost Rs 2 Lakh so far this year.
Well if these are not enough. We have food crisis, economic recession and inflation to talk about. My best friend Ajmer is looking for project since January this year. But the job market in USA is really bad. He is facing the worst time of his life. But now things started to look positive for him. He may find himself working again in couple of weeks. Amin.
Well I am an Indian resides in US. So matter two countries that matters most to me are India and USA. But if you look beyond this, you will find 1 million percent inflation in Zimbabwe. And it may reach 5 million percent by October this year. As stores opened for business few days before, a small pack of locally produced coffee beans cost just short of 1 billion Zimbabwe dollars. A decade ago, that sum would have bought 60 new cars in Zimbabwe. Wow, obviously in a bad way.
Well for India, official figures says it is only at 7.82 percent. And its this low because govt of India is lying totally. If you talk to common people in India, you hear the real story – the inflation rate is at more than 30% and the Government is lying totally. And now when Govt of India decided to increase the petrol prices by Rs10 inflation is going to be more than 50%.Now one wonders why GOI is doing it now. Why it did not allow it grow earlier.
Well if these are bad, people in CNN promise that things can go worse beyond this point. Oh God.

If ..., then I am an asshole
I had a terrible time in year 2003-04. I learned a lot from my mistakes I made then. And I feel sometimes, that everyone used to have a terrible time in their life, which makes them stronger. The thing that does not kill you makes you stronger.
Hence when Amit was going on tough time last year, one part of me was happy about it. That he will turn stronger out of it. But now I wonder, does this thing really work that way. And who I am to make wish like that. For example I have only seen the problems related to love and heart. I have never seen poverty or anything dreadful like loss of your favorite people. Many people have seen worse in their life, than what i had. Will I wish that thing to happen to me, so that it will make me stronger.
I guess when we grew older day be day, we tend to get rough, in our attitude. If we face the problem that we had faced earlier, we are in a better position to solve them. And when we see someone else is going through that kind of problem, we may appreciate his situation and even help him out. But if we see someone is vulnerable of getting into those problems, a part of us think that they should fall into those problem to make themselves stronger. Why is not there any easier way learn the lessons.
Two months back one marriage proposal came for me. I talked with the girl over phone, saw her over net. Well she was a sweet person. But immature and naive. She had a lot of rosy dreams. And when she was expressing her feelings on those terms, I was like how naive is she. And a part of me was just thinking what will happen to her, if she falls into the problem that i faced 4 years before. Well some problems came later on, and I had to say no to her.
I did not know, she would be so devastated. But I had to do that. Its about marriage. And if I had to choose between giving her pain for few months or life time. I would have choose "giving her pain for few months". I was not in love with her. And she deserve better.
Now I am feeling bad all the time. Was I really wishing something bad like that should happen to her. I don't remember. If I did wish like that, then I am an asshole.
