Icecream cows,beef and free tractors

Icecream cows,beef and free tractors



Its said inhibitions are due to our own apprehensions which often limits our understanding of a particular thing.I'm not sure of what that is but i have never understood the path of privatisation that was taken by the Nda govt.First I'm a fairly orthodox guy so i don't believe in selling of profit making Psu's.

Let me explain,lets imagine a small village and the village together owns a cow.This cow gives you an amazing quality of milk,icecream types.Why the hell would you wanna sell it?What has happened is some people who hate icecreams got together and sold off the cow,now wheres the money.Isn't the money supposed to be distributed back to the village,you don't need economists to figure that out.

What arun and co did was ,first sell off the cow and then put the money in the govt treasury.Capital is supposed to flow back in the market,lowering interest rates and giving investment another kickstart.That never happened.Privatisation.

Its agonizingly annoying that the Nda is now trying to corner Upa by coming up with a strategy that will see them accusing everyone in the cabinet of being a criminal instead of the Pm.Maybe if the Nda had come to power the congress would have slogged out the same strategy.Indian political think tanks are more like think tinks.

The CMP,that sounds very warm.The new govt is surely encouraging many people to take up farming again.Free electricity,tripling rural credit,easier rates..!How about free tractors and even a mall in every village with good discounts.Where is all the equity going to come from..?Ok,lets cut the last two out still wheres the money coming from.

The presence of the left means that the glory days for the workers will be back soon.Labour reforms will be only in the interest of the workers,how on earth is that going to bring about private participation in sick Psu's i do no know.

Another very heart warming gesture is ,reforms with a human face.I believe if theres anyone who'll be able to do it,its gonna be the Pm.But theres not sufficient fire power in his alliance to make it happen.I hope he works a way out because he has the capability to be one of India's most progress oriented Pm's ever.

Now I'm sure thats screaming out loud that i'm not biased towards anyone,except Manchester United.

I got his joke yesterday.A pessimist is a person who doesn't milk a cow because hes afraid the milks already sour.I'll add the Indian political optimists just go ahead and eat the cow.



Pleasure,Naviin.
