Writing messages and scraps like these is an exercise in futility for neither the FM nor anybody who matters in the Govt. is gonna read or listen to what we earnestly write here. I might sound cynical but that is what I have become, looking in vain for some solace. Nothing is gonna change for the common man who continues to bear the brunt of everything in India - price rise, taxes, terrorism, nepotism, red tapism and all other topics listed by rediff.
