Idiots in Bangalore- Part 1

Taking big gaps in blogging. Everytime I think to write more and everytime I get busy with other things. Leaving this here, and moving it to other blog.

Other than me, there are lakhs of idiots disturbing everything else in Bangalore. Lets start this issue with public itself.. coz you cant put everything on govt everytime, anyway I will get to that point too.

On average every person, from software engineer to those who sell bananas outside the office earn min of 20k every month. The former is whate every one knows, what about the later. Assume the banana wala sells 250 bananas per day. And he charges Rs.3 to Rs.4 per banana counting to 750/- or 1000/- per day. And per month its 22500/- to 30000/-. What more?? they pay no tax. Dont ask me to calculate their investment. 250 bananas will not cost atleast Rs.250. No grudge against them, but things keep going wrong from the very basic level. Moving to bigger wastes of money.

Do really multiplexes facility cost Rs.250 per ticket. No way. We buy their popcorn for 50 which is worth 5 or 10 and the soft drinks for 35 onwards which dont cost more than 5, damn sure. It wasnt the position before. Every thing used to work fine for Rs.50 per ticket to Rs.10 for popcorn. Its just because you are earning more you are paying more. And I bet, many people who know they are not worth that pay are getting the pay and so dont care on the expense. It used to be the time of struggle to get a normal job and try out business. People used to recognize value of money and effort. Now its not the time and money is spent more then water.

Why cant we stop encouraging this meaningless prices and get a line away from idiots? I dont think anyone dies if he doesnt watch a movie in multiplex. Everyone can wait to see it at normal cost in any other theatre or afford to miss the movie. But no. Quoting an example, Inox which used to price Rs.150 priced Rs.250 per ticket for Dhoom2 saying that the distribution cost, effects cost etc. Later it moved the price for Rs.225 and around for other movies. What ever the numbers are, may not be exact, its too much for one to encourage such prices. Assume a family of 5(two children and one extra) going to movie and its Rs.1250, cost of one month food expenses for a person or even cost of one months living outside Bangalore for a poor family.

Its not just the bananas or movies. Its every thing now. For taxis we pay 100 as min which should be 45/- otherwise. We pay bananas that price and buy though we know its huge. We go to movie spending almost a days pay or more for that 3 hours. Reacting and feeling like a victim is not going to solve the problem. The problem needs to be confronted. I promised not to do this atleast as my part. Think again before spending, think if its worth. We make others unnecesarily rich, we let the prices go high and we suffer for every thing later.

Among these spend thrifts, who contribute to the society are very few, hopefully more than the count on fingers. We keep seeing lots of organisations who try to help those in need, and bangalore has lots of both the organisations and the needed. But are all those trying to help sustaining and acheiving the purpose? No, for two reasons. One is the greedy mind in running the org and the greedy earners who fail their duty as a human. Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you.

Consider this as an appeal to do your duties. Contribute a days pay or a days effort as human duty. There are many in need of basic needs and many in need of love and friends. Choose your side and work for it.
