Fuel price rise

Well well well, the petrol and diesel price have bee raised again. This time the kerosene and LPG have also been included. With kerosene price the ministry is ensuring that the BPL category and below BPL people should not have one time food also. How dare the BPL and the below BPL people are having one time food daily.

The secretary of the ministry said that some Rs.300 extra load for the 2 wheeler and the likes for other vehicles. How many liter does he or his family fills petrol or diesel in a month and does he know what is the no of LPG cylinder is used in his family and he pays for it.

Now, in one statement the finance minister says we see the inflation down to 8% from double digit in a couple of month and the next month EGoM agrees to price rise in fuels. How can by increasing the fuel prices he can bring down the inflation to single digit. For the last few months our finance minister has been contradicting his own statement. One fails to understand what he wants to do for the country.

Now, the transport industry has decided for increasing the freight rate. On whose shoulder will that increase will fall. Its very obvious it will be passed on the general public. Will he be able to control the prices of the essential commodities? Nowadays, there are no vegetables that cost less than Rs20- 25 a kilo. The increase in fuels i.e. petrol and diesel specially diesel through which all commodities are transported will keep the prices stable, it cannot be the prices of all commodities are bound to rise. The BJP government had fallen due to the rise in Onion prices, now is it not that the Mr. Pranab should step down if he is failing to control the prices, inflation.

Now all opposition party has decided to go for an all India strike, an all India strike means loss to the country to the tune of 1000’s of crores. Who is responsible for this the ruling party, the finance minister or us?

Train Journey

Three hour train journey…

On that day I was travelling back from a tour back to home. The dealer GM came to see me off, before that we had lunch. In the lunch I opted for a veg thali but the service eng of the dealer said, sir the mutton prepared here is very tasty. And then after both the dealer person telling me sir please try it, it’s really very tasty. Then I also said ok let’s have a mutton and rice nothing else. Then after a waiting period of just fifteen minutes we received our mast awaiting & smelling mutton along with rice. Then we started having our food and seriously speaking the moment I took my first bite a thought came into my mind if I had said no I would have repented my decision of having vegetarian food that day. Anyways after having our lunch we moved towards railway station. They wanted to stay till the train leaves but I prompted them and told them no they should go back and carry out their work.

I went to the ticket counter and got the general ticket as I didn’t had my ticket booked as for me it is not decided where will be moving after my work is finished at a place. Then I had my ticket went inside the platform and saw in the display board that the train is a meager only 20 min late. That  was a bit surprising because this train has the history of min late by 1 hour at this particular station. Then there was announcement that the train line is clear and is coming at platform no 4. On hearing the announcement suddenly people in crowds started moving towards the foot over bridge for moving to platform no-4.Then searching for a person in a black coat called TTE for giving a berth. He took the ticket scribbled  something into it which on carefully getting eyes onto it saw S-7 caoch no and berth no 7 and very softly said 50 rupaiye do aur jahan seat mile adjust kar lo(give rs.50 and adjust yourself wherever you find a seat). After waiting for another 15 min from the announced time the train arrived and then we went for the seat given by the TTE then saw a lady sleeping in the berth provided by the TTE. I understood that need to find a place myself where one can take a seat and sit , suddenly in the next coach saw 4 student sitting, asked if I can sit there they said ok. On their positive reply there was a sigh of relief within me that finally I got a place to sit at least. Of the four student two were boys and two girls but they were just friends was clear when I was reaching my destination. One of the girls was sleeping on the upper birth. The other three of them were on the lower birth sitting and practicing for the test for which they were travelling. One of the boys in the blue t-shirt was a real dumbo .during the discussion he himself said I know I will not be able to clear the test. After this all three of them started his leg pulling.  But in between, after half an hour the girl on the top floor woke up & came down. She was really a gorgeous looking girl with very sharp features. A sharp nose with big and wide black eye and to top it all she a mole on the upper lip which was a killer. With short hair and fair complexion she was looking beautiful. The only lacking was a black dress she had been drop dead gorgeous. But in blue jeans and a white blue floral top she was too good looking. Nowadays these days the girls wear a low neck line top/t-shirt intentionally I suppose so that they can attract attention. First time when I look towards her was due to the low neck line only and a few minutes after that I saw her other beautiful feature. My mind started his thinking as how to start conversation but again it came into mind that she is sitting with her boyfriend. It was that just before getting down that her cell phone rang and that she is not engaged to anyone but by that time the train has reached its destination and I have to get down with just two minute stoppage time I had to hurry. But still then while getting down I thought of leaving a mark and then suddenly while getting my bag down it slipped and due to the sudden shaking of the train before halting I almost fall on her, and I felt her hand on my back and she also got her epithelial tear off of the thumb.

We made a mark for each other for a remembrance.  She may not remember me after the epithelial heels but her fingers on the my back I will feel for a long-long time to come.
