Indian govt. has been pretty consistent in keeping the tone of its approach towards public same for both years 2010 & 2011. It ended calendar year 2010 with petrol rise of ~2.57 and followed it up with similar rise of ~2.54 .Whether valid justified or necessary are the debates which will continue for a long period to come and parties will keep on making hue and cry about the same.
But the point which I am trying to make is a bit weird and is bound to raise eye brows.Let us think for few moments if fuel prices are not hiked and govt. keeps on giving subsidy by absorbing the losses of the PSUs, what can happen.
1) Govt. pays those losses through tax payers money or giving PSUs credit letters
2) Pvt. players are driven out of business as they cannot sustain such losses and don’t get subsidy too. Loss of employment for those in the sector.
3) The user is unaware of real value of the commodity.
All three of these have been utilized by various elements in various forms for their personal interests.
This system really needed a revamp which is duly justified as if the fuel prices are kept free floating then the tangible benefits which I are as follows :
1) User is aware of the price and hence he can think for optimizing and prioritizing his usage.
2) Differential in price is directly collected from the user and hence tax payers actual money with govt. can be utilized for some genuine planned purpose.
3) It will force parents and seniors in society to enforce a culture of responsibility among youth who drive automobiles at their will and at somebody else cost.
The all above will directly or indirectly promote public transport usage, which has been a real lag in Indian due to several reasons. This will again put pressure back on the Govt. to improve infrastructure/transport system to cope up with demand. Time required & corruption possibilites are other issues to be tackeled here but we will have a solution.
I understand this is a bit rave idea but if you think for some time they really start making sense, especially last point.
Yes, no doubt there are other ways to control and moderate the fuel price as it will ultimately help in inflation rate to climb. Current breakage of fuel price is
If the price of petrol stands at Rs 58.90, the break up of cost as calculated by the Indian Government is as follows:
• Basic Price: Rs 28.93
• Education Tax: Rs 0.43
• Dealer commission: Rs 1.05
• Excise duty: Rs 14.35
• VAT: Rs 5.5
• Petrol Custom: Rs 1.54
• Crude Oil Custom duty: Rs 1.1
• Transportation Charge: Rs 6.00
• Total price: Rs 58.90

Certainly a better way needs to be found but running away or hiding is not what we are looking for.

The Golden Corridor of Love
Some where I was reading and I came across this terminology of “Golden Corridor of Love”, no doubt the text was very well and neatly written expressed and clearly justified the idea.
But with a right to exercise the freedom of expressing thoughts and feelings openly, I take this opportunity to put them here.
Falling in love:
Has ever, any kind of falling known to be a controlled one or can be called so.
(Excepting the few great grand falls of our sensex with a great thanks to our great mind schamist)
Thus how can anyone be made to fall in love or other way even if he /she wishes can fall in love. On a personal front I keep on saying “You never know how when where and with whom you will fall in love, when it has to happen it just happens.” Making it true, here also there are few exceptions to this whose advances are matched or well received by opposite sexes and it blossoms into a life long love. But here also the part ‘advances are matched or well received by opposite sexes’ can be covered in the argument at top ‘when it has to happen it just happens’.
Finding someone ‘Special’:
Today’s so called modern society which clearly supports the once upon a time statement of pride “We have unity in diversity”. This very own society of ours which accepts going to pubs and bars for girls, at the same moment brutally beats the girls to register their protest anger or whatever.
In such a society where you need to go out with someone to prove that you are normal or for sake boasting so called status of ‘going around’. While on the other hand there are parts where boys and girls can’t even talk still, so going around is way beyond their imagination.
So with such a diversified ambience surrounding you, it makes you to look towards the side where you see more charm and glitter. Certainly nothing wrong in it.
But this gives birth to an irresistible desire in everyone which is to have someone ‘Special’.
Finally ‘Golden Corridor’:
The text which made me write said it’s the age group of 18 to 21 which yields suitable pairs is 'The Golden Corridor of Love' . And he had elaborated and explained it quiet nicely too. I might be looking at it, through a more serious aspect and those being personal feelings of author can be true too.
My personal view says it’s not valid to restrict a feeling like love in such age band.
Every person has a different life cycle which is governed by a lot of factors surrounding him like family, finance, academics. As he learns to balance it in his own accord he starts to look beyond his stereotypical life style and begins to broaden his horizon.
As this broadening begins his physical emotional needs start driving him and then he takes control of his life ,again this will depend from a person to person.
Everyone will agree that this is valid for both boys and girls, thus the control taking step varies with every one and as explained in above written two elaborations these factors play a major role.
Thus when a guy/girl takes control and starts to think that he should have some he has all the rights in world in world to think or do so. As this is also a new feeling for him and will be cherished by him for life time. With a subtle understanding, that he doesn’t looses his gained control for this issue.
‘Love is an amazing feeling to experience, Love is amazing to be in………… etc’ this is what every one knows through our great bollywood and hence wishes to works to get an experience at it.
So keep trying or working or willing to have someone ‘special’ till you get one. As I feel it is the best way to lead life, as when you start loving someone that’s the moment when you start living the real life.So keep your 'The Golden Corridor of Love' wide open till you get one.
Because its '18 till I die'.
SPECIAL Glossary:
Love: a life long relation
Someone special: one whom you wish to be your life long partner making it more precise and reducing loop holes your wife.
Assumptions all the scenarios are and thoughts are based on a middle class society where once you get hooked its quiet strong to hold you for life time. It is definitely not a daily business.
