Sms gal : I would love to meet them…so that it would be easier for us ….

ME : Yes definitely …my brother would call you ….and our love story would have a happy beginning..

After some time my mobile rang. I tried to answer the call but no one replied. Again after 5 min the mobile rang , no one replied this also. Again after 5 minutes my mobile rang. This time also no one replied so in anger i threw my mobile on my bed.

Day four

I woke in the morning to find out my mobile lying in pieces. I now remembered that the whole incident was a dream and the mobile ring was nothing but the morning alarm which snoozed after every 5 minutes and in sleep i threw my mobile out of bed. It was a bad start of the day for me but yes definately the dream was real nice.

Inflation, not a monster but a blessing in disguise?

Recently i have been reading too much about the Indian economy. This is because of my interest in the share market that i have developed over the past one year.
India's inflation has increased too much and measures have been taken to bring down the inflation rates to the normal rate of 5 -5.5 %. But many of us think that inflation is a curse for the economy. India was in similar period during the regime of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and inflation at that time was at it's peak in double figure. The GDP was growing at the Hindu rate of 2-3%. Industries could not survive because banks were offering interest at the rate of 20% on NRI Account deposits and the prime lending rates fluctuated between 18-23%. Here is an link to an article on IBN CNN website by Mr Mathews J Nedumpura which tells ue that inflation is not a curse but a blessing in disguise.
