Saare Zameen Par..

Back and So early..

Well something happened this week that if i would have waited the joke would have lost. What happened is related to the headline of the post and i borrowed it from rediff.

This was one of the jokes floating about the share market on Monday.. And i was just in splits. Hats of to the guy who came up with this. It can be about the shares or all the high flying share market investors. Trust me i am also the ones.. but i haven't put in so much money so that i would be prohibited to go near a lake..

On serious note.. it goes on to show couple of things.. First Mumbai’s sense of humor and its capability to laugh at herself. I am sure this joke would have been from one of the guys affected. And second is it never say die spirit.. waking up to live another day. That’s why you never see any lakes or wells or any sea's being closed in Mumbai come what may. The sensex is already on its way up.

On another serious note.. can we trust sensex to be a thermometer of Countries economy, well for now it looks like to be a thermometer of US economy. "Cheenk unhe aayi, razaai ham odte hain". The Chinese never went for their razaai's or gilaaf's. This goes on to show how sensitive this service economy is and how an outer glitter never tells a real story. Farmers are still committing suicide in Maharastra and my town Ambernath still has 6 hours of electricity cuts.

Is there something wrong somewhere... are we walking too fast.. are living on a bubble.. God help no, but yes there are some serious problems which is allowing a select few to enjoy the exclusive luxury while the majority still lives on fringes.

I don't have very organized thoughts on this subject.. but yes i do sense something bad.. or atleast something uncomfortable when i complain about the petrol getting expensive for my car rather then thinking about the food grain prices going north.
