We Need More Petrol Price Hikes for World Peace !


The recent petrol price hike is actually a good thing. I think the hidden motive of our Government behind the constant and big hikes in the petrol prices is concern for this country's citizen and their environment. Their ultimate goal is, I believe, world peace.

They want us to eventually stop consuming petrol altogether thus saving a precious, non-renewable resource.

No vehicles on the roads = no pollution and no accidents. It will also mean the end of corruption in traffic policemen since, no traffic means no traffic policemen.

In fact, for want of get-away vehicles, many crimes won't be committed at all. We will have a nearly crime-free society.

Without any means of transport, all produce will have to be sold locally. So the choicest of mangoes will not go abroad. Prices of all produce, including mangoes, will not rise due to rise in petrol prices. All produce will be sold at affordable prices.

People will need to walk everywhere. This will make them healthy. They will not fall ill. Life expectancy will go up.

People will become rich since they will save all the money they earlier spent on petrol and high-priced vegetables.

Healthy + Wealthy = Happy.

Some people will become industrious. They will work towards inventing alternate means of transport that don't use petrol. Some people will begin studying magic to figure out how Harry Potter, his school-mates, teachers and the like “apparate” and “disapparate”. Some others will study science and technology, more specifically Star Trek, to figure out how Scotty beamed Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock up and down from various planets. In short, most people will become very busy.

Happy + Busy = Not inclined to fight and no time to fight.

Walking this path for years on end, all humans will eventually lose the instinct to fight.

Automatically we shall have world peace.

So, I vote in favour of consistent petrol hikes. You should too. After all, don't we all want world peace ?

How NOT to compère a function

Recently I attended an awards ceremony. It was a grand function with a huge audience in attendance. Many awards were given and some speeches too. The compère was, unintentionally, terribly funny ! In this function, when the compère announced the first award winner, he announced, “Please welcome on stage Mr. X (pause) married to (pause) wife Mrs. X (pause) from 1977 and successfully (pause) completed 32 years of (pause) married life…” I had tears in my eyes from laughing too hard :D Later, the same compère, while telling the audiences about a certain award winner, said, “…he is married (pause) to wife Mrs. Z (pause) and enjoys playing with his (pause) children K and M. His favourite (pause) holiday destination is (pause) the beaches (pronounced as ‘bitches’) of (pause) Goa” I nearly died choking with laughter for this one ! In the 45 minutes that he was on stage he was responsible for much hilarity due to his totally inappropriate commentary. I, of course, laughed my guts out and what c

‘Geographically challenged’

I laughed my guts out while reading this . Then I had another bout of laughter thinking of all the incidents that happen with me. For a long time now I have known that I am, what I like to call, ‘geographically challenged’ :) Situation 1 - If I go inside a building (happens mostly with residential buildings), then after I exit the lift (elevator) or come down the stairs, I cannot quickly locate the gate ! Situation 2 - If I am inside a building, I will routinely point in wrong directions to indicate places outside the building. Situation 3 - I am presently at office. I have come here from home. Now I have to go to some place where I have always gone from home and never from office. What do I do ? I go home first and from there I go to that place. It doesn’t matter if it is a longer distance or takes more time. I have to do this, because simply have no mechanism to re-align my mental map to my present location ! Situation 4 - Another thing is that if I have come to your place in
