It's height of absurdity how TV channels and disgusted politicians make us look at changes in prices of energy inputs and create Tsunamis of artificial collateral crises about to finish the middle class prosperity. During past decade income levels and salaries have jumped several folds. In cities people are happily paying average electricity bill of Rs 10000 for using luxuries of air-conditioning but for MOST IMPORTANT survival activity, the same multi-salary household, cries foul if asked to pay meager Rs 400 for cylinder of gas running full one month for whole family !!! During same decade prices of petrol too has wavered between Rs 45 and 65 but the prices of all luxuries went up many folds without complaints and also the incomes have multiplied several times during these times of high growth. But TV news channels never discussed prospering Indians. One of these 'responsible' pillar of democracy was recently seen interviewing a student driving a large car who was complaining, that it will be very difficult for students like him to survive on limited pocket money with present petrol prices. The car borne 'student' was lecturing on inefficient Govt , on prompt from TV anchor !!!The story should have been actually, how Indians are becoming rich to afford such expansive SONs !!! What a joke !!!
