That glass is half full...

5 things that have gone unbearably wrong in this city/country and ways to beat ‘em -


1. 300% food inflation – Come on people, it’s the right time to hit that diet, maybe we could all adapt to living on air (atleast until we start having to pay for breathing), and have those size zero figures we’ve always wanted!!

2. Increasing real estate prices, additional levies to be passed on to the consumers – Buy a nano, stay in it!! In any case the fuel is too expensive to drive it anywhere.

3. Dug up roads, half constructed metros blocking roads, holes the size of meteor strikes – this is the right time to start your own loss making business venture, and stop travelling to work. Why loss making? Read on….

4. Direct Taxes, hidden taxes, double taxes – See point 3, loss =no tax

5. Increasing petrol prices, increased public transportation costs – see points 2 and 3



Maybe the government should just ask us to handover our savings accounts and assign pocket money by a lottery system, that way they won’t have to bother coming up with innovative taxes...
