Yesterday evening news, and today early morning newspaper, gave me a great revelation; how rich I am.. I find myself exburent at this sudden realisation; courtesy, Tendulkar Committee Report from Planning Commission of India.
Great, that means INR 31/- per day is what needs to survive.. Strangely, this is something that dawned on me, that there might be people, who do not even have Rs. 31/- per day to spare.. and, look, i have 200 bucks, in my wallet today.. Of course I am not poor, and neither is that unskilled labour, who has nothing to own, and lives on 90/- per day.. nor are the child labours earning 40-50 bucks everyday... And for the statistics' sake, all the beggers are not poor: the lepers, the blinds, and the kids, who lives on the alms around traffis signals and live on the footpath... they assuredly earn more than 31 rs, everyday..
Thereby, my dear friends, we live in so rich a country, where 133 gm of rice, with 20 gm of dal and 30gm of potatoes, with 15gm of onions and 15 gm of tomatoes full us with nourishment.. and add 85ml of milk to the daily diet... See, how rich we are...
And yeah, we do not need any fuel, or transportation, or home to live in.. The climatic conditions of our nation is so kind for such wasteful luxuries. And who the hell needs education, or telecommunication, or entertainment.. They are just something meant for Gods, not for petty humans!!
Glad that I live in the welfare state of India. Or how could I have survived in a discriminating nations where the rich and poor have such a narrow difference.. And WELL FED(!!) PEOPLE LIKE US ON RS 31/- PER DAY ARE DEEMED TO BE BELOW POVERTY LINE..
Oh I am so happy today.. Feels like, salvation is near(with so little food, only yogis could be so excited).. Baba Ramdev, you have done a great job teaching Yoga.. Please conjure an Asana which would nourish us as well..
