Though now i don&#8217;t read such stories any more but still i alwayz believed them to be true, i think thats the reason i am still waiting for my prince charming that one person, bcause i believe love happens just once in your life &amp; it remains forever. So i believe each &amp; evry girl should have a fairy tale dream &amp; wait for your dream to come true&#8230;&#8230; because who knowzzz  a magic can happen &amp; you could find the love of your life&#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>SLUMDOG MILLIONARE set to release on the 23 of this month&#8230;.. is going to be an awesome &amp; intresting movie &amp; i can assure u this because its an adptation of a book <strong>Q &amp; A</strong> written by Vikas Swarup &amp; i have already read this book <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   so anybody who&#8217;s really intrested in knowing the story may read ahead&#8230;.</p>
<p>The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India&#8217;s &#8220;Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?&#8221; But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show&#8217;s questions. Each chapter of Jamal&#8217;s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show&#8217;s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love. sorry can&#8217;t tell u more than this&#8230;.</p>
<p>Though the story of the movie is a bit different from that of the book but this is what BOLLYWOOD is famous for isn&#8217;t it&#8230;. differnt character names..a bit of bollywood masala with a few songs &amp; fight scenes in between&#8230;.. the real name of the protagonist in the book is &#8220;ram mohammed thomas&#8221; &amp; in the movie its &#8220;Jamal Malik&#8221;  but if u really want to enjoy the movie go read the book first&#8230; but one thing is for sure once u start reading this book the story is so gripping that u won&#8217;t leave it till  u complete it &amp; one major message that this book gives is &#8220;life is all about useful lessons that one gains through his/her experiences in life &amp; if u learn from them u&#8217;ll be beniffited in the way Ram Mohammed Thomas was&#8221;. so happy reading&#8230; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">So finally NANO moves to Gujarat&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<span>  </span>The much hyped political fiasco in Singur comes to an end with a huge loss to both parties involved. TATA loses somewhere around 400 to 500 crs. But the state losses more than what the company has lost because once the company’s project gets started they will recover from the losses but what about Bengal??? What about its people. Do they even realize what have they lost……… innumerable employment opportunities (both for present &amp; future), states development (by the increased revenue that it could have earned from the company), the school &amp; colleges that the TATA’S could have started over their &amp; other development opportunities that could have happened in the state because of industrialization &amp;<span>   </span>the over all picture of Singur (Bengal) could have changed<span>  </span>but what’s gone is gone and once again the industrial development in West Bengal have been crippled .</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">Oh… &amp; how could I forget the LAND, because of which so much of hue &amp; cry was raised in the state. Now that the farmers have their land back what good is that land for now? As the COMPANY has removed its plant from their the land prices in Singur are surely going to fall down steeply so the farmers will not get any profit if they try to sell it<span>  </span>now &amp; even if they try to cultivate something on that land I don’t know how fertile that land is now for agriculture purposes. So basically it was a lose-lose situation for everybody: from the farmers of Singur; for the West Bengal government &amp; for Mamta Banerjee(because of whom all this chaos took place).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">The saying goes right &amp; is very apt for this situation that “someone’s loss is other person’s gain”. So here the Gujarat government or should I say Mr. Narendra Modi played it right &amp; now the TATA’S make a move towards Gujarat &amp; the state stands to earn whatever was lost by the people of West Bengal . </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">So the lesson learnt is “<em><strong>that rapid progress is possible only if there is efficient administrative set-up, a high level of education &amp; minimum political interference in development activities</strong></em>.” <span> </span>The Bengal government could have played a constructive role in the states development only if it had acted a bit more wisely &amp; made sincere efforts for negotiations with the farmers &amp; only if the other political parties (i.e. the Trinamul Congress&amp; the ruling Communist parties) had kept aside their personal grudges &amp; kept the state &amp; nations development ahead of their own individual gains. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">Hmm……………but that’s just not possible in our country……. We people deafly &amp; dumbly follow what ever is being told to us….. So I doubt that our country could ever reach the 2020 mark of being a developed nation………………will this dream ever turn into a reality ??????</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">Hey everyone it’s really been long since I wrote my last blog but now m back… not with a bang but with a BOOK…..Yup this time it’s a book &amp; its written by <strong><em>LYNNE TRUSS</em></strong>. Believe me people it’s an Awesome book a must read for all the English fanatics…..</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">It was just like any other day &amp; as I was going through a rack of books in the library this book along with few other books fell of the rack so I started picking up those fallen books. Suddenly, something caught my attention &amp; it was a joke precisely a <strong>PANDA JOKE</strong>. Written on the cover page of this book &amp; it goes like this….</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun &amp; fires two shots in the air.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">“Why ??” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual &amp; tosses it over his shoulder.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">“I’m a panda,” he says, at the door. “Look it up.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:large;">“PANDA. Large black &amp; white bear like mammal, native to China. <strong>Eats, shoots &amp; leaves.”</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;"><strong><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> :-)     :-)    :-)</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span><a href="http://usha89.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/panda-eats-shoots-laeves.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-33" src="http://usha89.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/panda-eats-shoots-laeves.jpg?w=207&#038;h=300" alt="" width="207" height="300" /></a></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">This book is all about “PUNCTUATION” &amp; its usage from apostrophe, Coma, dash, colon, semi colon, exclamation mark to full stop &amp; to all the other punctuation marks that u could ever think of in the English literature. It tells us why punctuations are important &amp; how does it effect our language if we don’t use it at appropriate places.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">This is one of the example quoted from the book to show u how such small signs&#8230;.. can create world blunders&#8230;&#8230;..</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">“A woman, without her man, is nothing.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">“A woman: without her, man is nothing.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">So you see how punctuations or mis-punctuation can change the entire meaning of a sentence. So if u really want to know how funny can language get if these punctuation marks are not there please read this book so that the next time u make a mistake u would know how to correct it before the other person corrects you.<span>  </span><span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span> </span>All u people reading this please don’t confuse this book with any other grammar book because there’s nothing like grammar in this book.<span>  </span>It’s a fun book with lots of humor instilled in it through its examples &amp; quotes. This book is for ALL……….. be it <strong><em>BERKS </em></strong>(those who are outrageously slipshod about language) or <strong><em>WANKERS</em></strong> (those who are abhorrently precise about language) or even those people who don’t have any pretensions about their literary skills suited for all age group. So what are you people waiting for go grab your copy today&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;   <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><a href="http://usha89.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/heartsworldssoundlogo1sm11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-16" src="http://usha89.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/heartsworldssoundlogo1sm11.jpg?w=300&#038;h=296" alt="DIFFERENCE TO THIS WORLD" width="300" height="296" /></a> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Did anyone of us ever think…. who are we? Why are we in this world, this universe so huge…. Does our existence make a difference to this world ever changing?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The human race is the only one, which is surviving successfully in this world never ending. Each one of us, born in this world help to sustain the human race, to prevent it from falling apart , to stand together help each other<span>  </span>in times of need. This is how we make a difference.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The power to make a difference lies with us, &amp; this is one of our strongest qualities.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">We can all make a difference in our lives &amp; in the lives of those around us. We can make a difference almost by doing anything, we could help, forgive or love another person, it need not necessarily be a big thing even small gestures do make a lot of difference in the lives of people around us. Each time we go out of our way to help someone, we are in a way, renewing ourselves &amp; becoming different. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Each &amp; everyone one of us have some or the other quality which if used appropriately can be of major use to the society. Here also we make a difference by utilizing our qualities in a proper manner. Just remember one thing no one is inferior to anyone, speak &amp; do whatever you believe &amp; always follow your heart; it will never lie to you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Just do whatever you think is right for the world, do not fear failure because “it is impossible to fail totally, if you <strong>DARE</strong> to try”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Each of us live today to make a difference &amp; if this is not the reason for us to live, then we are a mere burden for the society &amp; nothing more. We should do whatever we want before the time runs out. We must not be afraid to stand up for what we believe, to fight for it &amp; to die for it. We must always have faith in our self’s &amp; have belief that “<strong>what I am is good enough</strong>.” Don’t wait for opportunities to knock at your door, because an opportunity to do something great seldom comes but small ones surrounds you everyday. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">So go for it. “<strong><em>Because there will never be another now, so u will have to make the most of today &amp; there will never be another you, so make the most of yourself </em></strong>”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">With love &amp; kindness we can change this world so let us together make this world, our home, a better place to live in. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Do what you can, with whatever you have, &amp; from where ever you are…. Beginning is half done … &amp; every beginner is a winner.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR……. GO OUT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!<span>   </span></strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Hey people I am back again……..with another topic on Indian politics</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Well all of u alright if not all most of u must be knowing about the recent price hike in the prices of petrol, diesel &amp; all the other petroleum product &amp; the increasing inflation rate &amp; its effects. Last time when I wrote about inflation the rate of inflation was somewhere around 6.5 or 7 but after last week’s review it went up to 8.24%. Now this is actually an alarming situation because most of the well-known economists are predicting that it might also reach a double-digit number in next few months. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">But the main matter of concern in my post is not the rising prices or inflation but the behavior of Indian political parties. Is the international increase in crude oil prices hitting only India or other countries too? If it’s happening everywhere then why is there such a chaos in only India &amp; not in other countries? Why aren’t the people understanding if they want the facilities then they will have to pay for it… why is it that there’s demand for each &amp; every thing &amp; not the willingness to pay?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Though I must say that the central government has done its bit by cutting taxes on fuel to buffer the price increase but doesn’t the left parties &amp; other state government also get into the move with the central govt. &amp; try solving the problem instead of playing an opportunist &amp; blaming the government for the price rise. Why is it that every time there’s a<span>  </span>small problem<span>  </span>&amp; its blown out of proportion by the left<span>  </span>parties?? Is it because they love practicing demagoguery? In the past also many of our political parties were blamed of demagoguery. No party of our country is interested in the welfare of the country they just want to mislead people for there own selfish reasons. In the present situation also this is what actually is happening the left or should I say the other major ruling party BJP is creating discontent among the masses, rousing them to fever pitch by making false statements about the reasons of price increase &amp; about the failure of the ruling party to curb inflation. &amp; why is all this happening ? It is happening because major election<span>  </span>are nearing &amp; the other parties want to get voted in the office.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">This is called being hypocritical………..&amp; that’s what all our parties are…. They just claim to be ruling &amp; managing one of the largest democratic country of the world but do they even know the methods or are these people even capable enough of actually running our country??? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Don’t you think it’s the time to change &amp; use our own minds instead of listening to such people? Who don’t even care . </span></p>

<p>(though it is very difficult to describe life.. i described it as i thought it is&#8230; though there r many other things tat i could hve written but tis post is not abt life.. so i think we should leave it here&#8230;)</p>
<p> <a href="http://usha89.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/what20if20im20pretending20showcase20-20front11.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10" src="http://usha89.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/what20if20im20pretending20showcase20-20front11.jpg?w=300&#038;h=300" alt="this is all about faking it" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p> ya so&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; wat i really wanted to start wid was<strong> &#8220;do we all really know who we all really are&#8230;&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>living in this materialised world, we all hve forgotten who we all really are&#8230;the true oneself, running frm day to night to get all the worldly posessions of tis world..we pretend to be someone else&#8230;people have started living two lives oh no not two but should i say three(how can i frget the virtual world wch is quite a craze these dayzzz). all of us hve bcom &#8220;PRETENDERS&#8221; we all try to create a image of ourself outside, evry plc were we go we want ppl to hve opinions abt us..(all gud ofcourse <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>but do we all really need to do tis i know most of u would say&#8230;. &#8220;we don&#8217;t pretend&#8221; &amp; gve me the tag line &#8220;i am what i am&#8221; but is this really true ??? have u evr thought even fr a moment&#8230;a person has to start   pretending frm the time&#8230; he starts understanding what this world is all abt..</p>
<p>i won&#8217;t say that im different from this world&#8230;of course evn i m part of it.. so even i hve to get into pretending few times to save my self&#8230;.or to make something work&#8230;..i still remember&#8230;.after reading 5 points someone&#8230; i tried being who i m &#8230;with my stats lecturer&#8230;  actually &#8230; i just told her what i felt about her classes&#8230; &amp; plzzz i won&#8217;t like to go into details&#8230; on wat happened next&#8230; the consequences&#8230;were..hmmm&#8230;&#8230;leave it&#8230; tats a long story. but still some parts r intresting &#8230; after that she remembered me among the 100 students of the class&#8230;&amp; i became her soft target..i would b the frst person to whom she would ask a question &amp; fr sure i nevr knew the answer not evn to a single one&#8230;.. well thats about me&#8230; but this is happening  day in &amp; day out with all of us&#8230; we have to be as the so called society wants us to be&#8230;.:-P</p>
<p>well there&#8217;s lot more that can be written but&#8230;&#8230;.. i would not take any of urs more time&#8230; jst want to end the topic with few lines&#8230; that i think might help&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;learn to accept urself  as you are, rather than as you wish u were or even as other people want to see u&#8221;  the day you accept yourself &amp; stop being someone else&#8230;.. others will automatically see u the way u want them to&#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">I don’t think I need to explain inflation (or define it) right now, as its all over the newspaper &amp; television… being the major focus at this point of time. any where u go people seem to be talking about it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">So I think I better come to the point … &amp; start directly </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">This yr had a great start with stock markets reaching it highest &amp; people expecting tat it would increase more…but as the yr headed its journey…stock markets came down crashing…with the bull roaring high small investors losing…badly &amp; to make the situation worse now we have rising inflation or should I say &#8220;<strong>running inflation&#8221;</strong>….</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">So now I can say tat we r facing tough economic time. Which has hit the middle class, upper middle class &amp; lower class income level people the most. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Inflation is still all right but what makes the situation all the more worse is the political scenario of our country. None of the political parties who of course are elected to run the country properly &amp; solve problems for the development &amp; advancement &amp;……blah blah<span>  </span>&amp; etc things (there’s a long list what they are supposed to do… but right now I can’t name all of them.. so lets leave it there)<span>  </span>don’t seem to be interested in solving the problem at hand, instead they are busy playing the blame game…every party is thinking<span>  </span>how to use the situation in there favor. “Everybody is fixing the blame – but nobody is fixing the problem”. As the elections are nearing parties are busy highlighting the failures of the ruling party….</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Oh… &amp; how can I forget the <strong>world food crisis</strong> that’s making it even more difficult to solve the problem &amp; to top it all we have<span>   </span>Mr. George Bush blaming the food crises on the developing countries<span>  </span>&amp; giving India’s example to prove it. Though I must say it was wrong on his part to blame developing countries for the crises he should have at least gone through the world food consumption statistics first then he would have probably know who’s eating  all the world food the most. But what’s the use of blaming him when our own leaders are not interested in what’s happening to our country… &amp; with leaders like smt. Pratibha Patil, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Raj Thackery…. The list is long, can’t name them all (plzz no personal…grudges against these political leaders) our country, I doubt will ever reach the so called list of developed country.</span></p>
