All this talk about PC's, Desktops, Laptops, calculators gets me nostalgic about those good old hazy days when one's only dependable aid to precision counting was one's own grimy fingers. Of course, I was severely handicapped at that, because 86 years ago at the tender age of 5 I had lost one precious finger whilst stupidly trying to poke-start a stalled overhead fan in he eternally congested Mumbai local train; I never thereafter learnt to count beyond 9. Even today, Friends, I am delightedly aware that my immense wealth is a minimum of Rs.9 Trillion and I sincerely don't bother about how much more of it I have. I'm lovin' it! Eh!
Yes these craps are getting cheap. But what abt the basic needs of the common men, like Milk, Vegetables, Dal (which is luxury now), electricity, etc. Every thing is getting coslier every day. No signs of the decrease in prices of these commodities...
The Real Estate properties are getting costlier every day..... There is virtually impossible for the middle class to buy a house. They can not even rent a house which normally costs around 8,000 to 20,000 per month.

True, Imran. We aam aadmis gets sucked like aam (mango). And if that's not enough, our skin is fed to the cattle or goes into the soil as manure. Going further, our gutli is roasted in the sun, and when dry it is grinded into a powder to eat after every meal as a mouth freshener. Only after fully consuming the aam aadmi our politicians will pat their bellies. That's the destiny of the aam aadmi.
