When people will stop cheating Middle Class...?

I was invited for a meeting by one of my neighbours and told me that there is a surprise waiting for me. Meeting started and the people in the meeting were excited when the presenter gave a detailed speech.

The presenter was giving lecture on a "Chain System", wherein, i have to buy a particular product by paying a particular sum and i get 20% instant discount and if i introduce 3 more people, then i get 20% of the value of their purchase as well and when more and more people join this system, i being the 1st introducer gets more income without having to work.

So, he gave graphics and showed that without any efforts i will be getting Rs.55000 per month and the crowd is excited about it. A video was shown wherein one person claims that he has become a millionaire and he is only 29 and he has retired.

Seeing this some from the crowd paid Rs.4500 and applied for the product which was worth Rs.6000 and they even told me that they have saved Rs.1500 straightaway. Utter foolishness. The products contains, toothbrush, toothpaste, soaps, shaving cream, and other cosmetic items. For a normal family of 4 to 6, this will be their 1 year's consumption. I am not sure, why i have to pay Rs.4500 now for my 1 year's consumption and that too non-branded products.

Secondly, even assuming that i introduce 3 more people and i get 20% of their purchase worth, i am not sure, whether everybody will have Rs.4500 which is the minimum amount of purchase required in the scheme to pay and buy the products. How many middle class people can afford this.
Middle class normally wants to become rich and this is taken advantage by many people including fly-by-night Chitfund companies by those referred above.

Sick Mentality. People should realise that there is nothing called free meal and you can't become rich without making any efforts. Lest, GOD alone can save them.

Kalam's Tenure

i disagree on all counts with you, friend.
1) On Bihar episode, he does not have any option, and that too at midnight when the government says that it is sending the proclamation again, then he is duty bound to do it.
2) Same is the case with Office of Profit Bill too. He was forced to sign, when the bill was sent to him the 2nd time and PM himself personally requesting him on this bill.
3) K.R.Narayan also expressed his wish for a 2nd term and i think since congress does not extend its support to him, he has to withdraw from the race.
4) If you make political instability as the yardstick, then i think SD Sharma also scores on this and to some extent R.V also has faced such issues.
5) Kalam deserves all respects, as he made the post of presidency not as an ornament, but a respectable post.
6) Yes, he is simple and modest and with this quality, he has reached greater heights. I read a newsitem this morning, wherein when he vacates Rashtrapathi Bhavan, his luggage is just 2 suitcases containing his prized possessions of books and his clothing.
I don't know, what bias you have for Prathiba Patil or KR Narayan, but Kalam deserves a special place in the country, just for the reason he dreamt for the common man in a way, nobody has dare to dream in the past 50 years.

Mr.PRESIDENT SIR, WE MISS YOU

These kind of people are born once in a century. Really a president who does not follow any protocol, when he meets common man or when common man wanted to meet him. In his 5 years tenure, he could have met close to 1 million indians, mostly children and generation next. He is truly a visionary, who wanted our country to be a super power and developed in true sense of the word.

OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT SIR, WE DEFINITELY MISS YOU AT THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF OUR BELOVED COUNTRY. YOU HAVE MADE THE POST OF PRESIDENT A TRULY PEOPLES' POST.

WE MISS YOU AND WE PRAY THAT WE GET ONE MORE KALAM DURING OUR LIFE TIME.

The Sick Indian Middle Class Mentality

Gandhi once said, "If you want a change to happen, then you should be that change". Golden words.
Common middle class indian want everything to be perfect, say proper roads, good medical facilities, etc.as in developed countries and blames the authorities and govt.for not taking care of some basic facilities.

He wants change, but never want to be that change.

Each one of us go into our shells when a common issue comes up, as we are basically afraid of antagonising anything and everything. As i was driving my bike to drop my kid to school, i saw that the roads that leads to the school was laid last week and it is washed away in 2 days after a brief spell of rain. I just got irritated on seeing this and wanted to change this and punish the erring contractor.....

But, the slackness of mind and it is time to school for my daughter and i have to ignore this and digest it saying that it is my fate.

As i want to be the change as Gandhi pointed out, suddenly..."Sick Indian Middle Class Mentality" comes up and i am back in roads thinking it is my fate.
