Another day has dawned bright and wintry....an opportunity to appreciate the rays of the Sun (who happens to be my best buddy :P)....warming me up for whatever lay ahead. I unfurl the newspaper, to drink in the recent news across the continents.... It has happened yet again.....it has caught my eye.....the woes of the economy. Some hot shot economist.....ploughs on a well thought(but drastically empty) post on how and why the economy of the world suffers..oh yes there are a lot of complex terms like FDI's,CRR's, GNP's, not to mention the regular terms of price rise, rupee to dollar values and inflation's. Hasn't it ever crossed this columnist's mind that the common man would hardly go into the intricacies of the economy to understand why he has been handed the Pink Slip or how he would actually turn up at his doorstep to explain to his family that he lost their only source of income. No i would guess not!!
Its not the problem of the World leaders (or the economist's ) that a family gets to lose a day's meal. Somewhere somehow a child is denied a right to education because his family cannot pay up for the exorbitant school fees. It is happening all around the World. The Rich seem to be getting more richer and the poor more poorer. The poverty line is a glaring example of this. So now what can the common man do about this? Bemoan his fate? Curse the leaders who seem to do nothing? TV news channels show a group of bickering men (and women too) falling over each other to announce their views regarding the failing economy. Whether their reasons are justified or not i do not know, but i do feel that the basic these people seem to have missed a few crucial lessons on how to respect a fellow speaker!! They bicker worse than fisherman selling their catch. They do not even pause to take a breath let alone listen to what the others have got to say. Meanwhile it is the same story yet again...rising fuel prices (oh yes petrol seems to be the most wanted liquid in the world), ailing financial establishments, inflation shootin' up through the roof, the never constant cost of living, essential commodities being charged an arm and a leg', all are sure signs of a thoroughly mismanaged governing system....and yet again the common man pays for it. A dream house remains a dream for millions. Survival takes top priority in these challenging times.
I hope and pray to ye God, that a miracle happens and the economy stabilizes all across the world for the Greater Good!! If you've got a Roof above your head and food 3 times a day you definitely have to thank the Almighty coz that's something millions of people are deprived of out there. Oh yes!! its a jungle out there. One can never appreciate the importance of this situation unless one leaves the comforts of their present life to at least take a peak out at the world that lurks out of sight!! There are times when i do feel that the situation wold be much better, if all the black money stashed up in the world were to be revealed. M sure it would definitely alleviate the problem to an extent!!
In hope for a better Tomorrow for our 7 Billion Population.......:)
