Fellow Earth Beings!! (why earth beings?? because i am excluding the aliens...and there are some crazy discussions on UFO sightings in Texas. I ask you, why on earth would aliens pick Texas??? - a fantasy for cow boy boots and riding horses perhaps).
Coming back to the topic of concern; Rising prices!! Its happening all over the world and has nothing to do with Nature....(Ahem...well maybe it does. M.N.Shyamalan's, 'The Happening' deals with the same scenario; dont be surprised if all the people come out of the theatre hall looking dazed....they all including you would have got hit with unexplained 'scientific theories'. The final verdict is plain and simple - DONT MESS WITH NATURE!!...Huh you would think anyone is listening? At this moment probably hundred more wells are being dug in search for oil....And this crazy country wants to still import and not tap its resources in Alaska).
I guess i have gone off track again...this is one of those days of multiple nerve fractures! With the Dollar see-sawing with the Indian Rupee, and a stronger Euro; people will now consider flocking towards the East instead of the West...EEks....does that mean the population density is going to increase??? 1.13 billion indian in india...and a million others outside...As it is nearly 10 people stand in 1 square meter space in the Mumbai suburban railway! If an architect expains to you the 'less is more' philosophy; be sure to throw him on of those trains during peak hours....
Ah...you must be wondering which direction am i headed. Not to worry....All roads lead to Rome (and I didn't make that statement). Increasing population, soaring prices of commodities, rising fuel prices....I wonder, Isn't anything going to go down??? This is an explicit case of Imbalance....
But sure enough, in a competitive market the necessity arises to cut down on costs! "lay offs" has been the fear factor in 2008. Over the past month, mergers have become common; the airline industry has cut down on staff and routes.....(personal prayer: I hope jet airways and continental stays afloat...) Imagine a world without airlines (A face to face meeting with talking mummies would be a more comforting thought)....We can take the 'columbus' route though...but atleast we know the location of INDIA...The whole world is swarming with Indians (16% of the world population...) makes the task a touch difficult...I can imagine landing in the 'icy' 'Greenland' (talk of irony huh) and being greeted by a Gujarati, Raman patel..."Kem cho saab...khovayigayo che?"... (How are you sir? Did you lose your way)...shucks! side tracked yet again...
Before complainig about inflation we really need to think about the millions living BPL (I am not referring to British Petroleum...think beyond fuel)...'Below poverty line'. Hence the question of affordability/equality...The prophecy is that 'all are equal in the eyes of the God'; i wonder, did god just turn his back ???....a diplomat i must say. Talk of Dirty Politics huh...
Oh my god!! did i just spot an alien??? Someone please dial 'MIB'....
Ah, finally...a positive sign, the temperature just dropped a few degrees; normalization curves....beep...beep...beep

I don't think even cheaper fuel prices would attract people from west to India! With EIA predicting lowering of prices in the future, its just going to be a wait-and-watch game everywhere! Meanwhile, the lovable auto-wallahs will increase their fares by five rupees for every rupee raise in petrol!
naah...not fuel...i was more talking in terms of strength of dollar with other currencies...
savings in essence.
