A 6000 Litre water tanker used to cost 500 in cities like Bengaluru. Now, it costs around 800.
You feel poor because the cost of essential items have gone up like crazy.
- Medical inflation = 14%
- Kid's education easily 15-20%
- Even your mobile bill is likely to go up 20% this year.
And, the primary reason is corruption.
If you step back and think: you should not be paying for a water tanker to begin with.
Similarly, if you have been paying direct taxes for years: you should expect free (or subsidized) quality education for your kids.
But, all this money goes to political corruption.
You can swing around any number: that we will become 10Tr$ economy or whatever. Fact is: it does not matter.
Your salary will continue to grow slower than growth rate of necessary services. And, this makes most people poorer.
If you are willing to take correct & fair decisions in your life, then you must develop the ability of unbiased thinking.
If you can take same decision when it's proving yourself or your loved one wrong, then you're unbiased & eventually it's the fair decision.
Harsh but true
Multiplying anything by 0 is 0. No matter how large the number.
Character is like that. If character is not there, all other achievements mean nothing!
So many people feel under-confident when we speak in English.
We need to understand English is our 2nd or in some states its even 3rd language. So its fine if we can speak with even 60% accuracy.
Very few nationalities can speak 2nd/3rd language with such high proficiency.
Pause before judging,
Pause before assuming,
Pause whenever you're about to react harshly & you'll avoid doing & saying things you'll later regret.

Some key things that kids NEED to be taught in schools NOW:
[1] How to fact check things.
[2] How to deal with online harassment.
[3] How to identify PR campaigns.
It has become extremely easy to hijack people's brain. Or harass them to a point of mental exhaustion.
I urge you to teach your kids these skills (schools won't teach this).
And, induct them in top 1% people who will retain their thinking abilities 10 years down the line.
