Frankly, I cannot foresee a future in my life, when my inverter will be a useless thing of past. Thanks to our beurocrats and visionless politicians…!

Food inflation index calculated by government itself, in last one year has always above 15%. But the actual price rise is much higher than this. The price of milk itself has increased more than 33%, including today’s hike by Mother Dairy and Amul. And this is when people are already hit by the inflation. The government has nothing to say about it. Indraprasth Gas Limited has increased the price of CNG by Rs.5, but government instead of asking to reduce the hike is helping Auto/taxi drivers to increase fare accordingly.

What kind of governance this is? where voice of common man is going unheard. In-spite of inflation being an issue since so long and government talking everyday to do something about it, everything is getting costlier and expensive every other day.

The pulses went to Rs.120 per kg from Rs50 and now it is selling at around Rs.80. Now the government is saying that prices has come down by Rs.40. But why it is not seeing the increase by Rs. 30, i.e. more than 70% in just few months.

I usually oppose such kind of bands and strikes but this time I completely agree and support opposition parties and request them to take this protest a long way unless government does something visible. Increasing CRR (cash reserve ratio) and RR (reverse repo rate) is not a solution to this. I do not know who takes a loan to buy milk from Mother Dairy store.

When we hear the news of suicides by students – when they fear failure in exams – then it is not the exam results, but the parents who are responsible for that. The parents put a lot of  pressure on their kids that if you do not perform then you will be no one; and this pressure starts from pre-nursery classes.

Why this pressure is there? Because everyone of us wants to see our kids in either IIMs, IITs or Medical Colleges. It is us who do not accept if our child says that he wants to learn music OR play football, cricket or want to do his own business.

The education system may need some reforms with time, but it’s responsibility in student suicides is much less compared to parents expectations.

When blaming our educational institutions we should not forgot that it is this system, which has produced world’s largest number of Doctors, Engineers and Computer professionals.

But then we say that why we do not have inventors or great entrepreneurs. That is because we are too young country for that. We have just got independence 60 years back and we are still finding it hard to put a good system in place [thanks to our vision less leadership].

New inventions come to mind when we have time to think besides our daily needs. The life of an Indian middle class person exhausts in working hard to earn enough money for their survival. When do they get chance to think about innovation? Because if they do then they will have nothing to eat in the evening.

The largest number of our population are farmers and you must have heard news of their suicides every other day.

And we are comparing ourselves with world’s most developed and rich nations. Who have enough money and hence time to try for new innovations and they do not do suicide if that experiment goes bad. They just start another one.

We can not even dream of earning million dollars in our whole life and they spend millions of dollars to develop an idea without worrying whether it will work or not.

This is the difference which prevents us to think out of the box. This is why we tend to follow set paths which gives us at least some confidence that we will be able to earn a good regular income if we do this.

So the time will come when we will also have great innovations and ideas registered with Indian names, but we have to wait for that. We have to wait for right time to come. As they popularly say – “Rome was not built in a day.”

For example – the word “Yog”, is referred as “Yoga”, which is incorrect. Similarly some south Indian state names are also wrongly pronounced with an additional “AA” at the end. Like “Keral” becomes “Kerala”, Karnatak becomes “Karnataka” etc.

I feel bad that these things are happening with the language. I expect at least schools to teach correct pronunciation of Hindi words, so that the students can learn the right thing. I can understand that we do not want a student to learn Hindi, as it does not have any commercial value in today’s global  market. But we should try to preserve, what we are taking forward for next generations.

But when some one asked when the sugar prices will go down then he replies I am not an astrologer. So the question arises that when he can not forecast the prices going down then how come he successfully forecast the price rise.

And yesterday he has said that the milk prices will also go up as there is shortage of milk. Now the milk merchants and middle-men has received a green signal from Sharad Pawar, to increase the price. Now they have a reason for this – after all the agriculture minister of India himself admitted that there is shortage and prices will go up. What a shame! The minister which should guide the market to reduce the price is himself asking them all to increase the price – first it was Rice, then Sugar and now it is Milk.

The day is not ahead when we have to pay Rs. 50-60 for one liter of milk. We are already paying Rs.110 per kg for pulses and Rs. 55 per kg for sugar.

I humbly request the prime minister of India to dismiss Mr. Pawar from all government positions and appoint some responsible person for the post. If this does not happen now then I am afraid that after another year passes we have to pay Rs. 50 for 1 kg Salt also. Who know tomorrow – Mr Pawar announces that there is shortage of Salt and price are “likely” to increase.
