[Frontier Indica @frontierindica]

Sometimes I think about the millions of Indians who are technically college educated, grew up in metro cities, work desk jobs, speak half decent English, and still make Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000 a month in dead end roles.

Out of this they manage rent, electricity, commute, gas cylinder, EMIs, family obligations, and the occasional outing that keeps them sane.

I wonder what goes through their head when they see people online saying "Rs. 2.5 lakh is the new Rs. 1 lakh" or "Rs. 1 lakh is basically the new Rs. 30K."

Urban India has created a strange class of people who are too educated to be called poor, too broke to be called middle class, and too invisible for anyone to build politics around.

Govt saying no proof of any serious damage to cars due to E20.

Where do people submit the damage report?

Short term loss like fuel pumps or long-term damage?

Where will a citizen file claims after the experiment is over?

Who will pay? Insurance companies have said they won't

Every day there is a fire in a big Indian city and people are burnt to death in the middle of attending class, eating in a restaurant or resting in their rooms. This is caused by the same mindset that makes us a stupid and a dangerous nation on the road. There is simply no sense, no requirement or threat to follow civic and safety rules, and no infrastructure or upright dignified municipal officers who command respect. The only definition of a moron is a person whose action is a danger to himself. In that context there is no animal that is as stupid as the modern Indian.

The most underrated Indian skill is operating inside broken systems without losing momentum.

Every Indian who gets anything done has become a full-fledged jugaad machine. He knows the portal will fail, the clerk will ask for one more document, the payment gateway will timeout, the courier will lie, the bank staff will disappear citing "lunch break", and the helpline will read from a script.

This is why Indians adapt so fast abroad. Remove the daily dysfunction tax and suddenly the same person becomes 10 times more competent and productive.

Yo, it's Nitin G in the house, ethanol boss,
Flexin' on the pump, never takin' a loss.

Sugarcane fields poppin', no more import fear.

Air gettin' cleaner while your mileage dies.

Cop a flex-fuel whip or stay in the blues.
Nitin G don't care if your tank start knockin',
Farmers eatin' good while your engine's rockin'.

Mix it heavy, watch the engines cry.

Nitin G don't give a f---, blend it higher!

Pure petrol kings in they vintage ride,
Whinin' 'bout corrosion, Nitin G just slide.
"Bro, my seals gone, my fuel lines leak!"
Nitin G laughin', go run on CNG, freak.
This the Atmanirbhar wave, ethanol supreme,
Cut that oil bill, live the green dream.
Grandpa's Maruti or your daddy's sedan?
Adapt or get left, that's the master plan.
Nitin G spittin' policy, no apologies,
Blend it till the world smell like victory.

E20, E30, E85
Cane to the tank, keep the nation alive
You compatible? You not?)
Tough luck, tough luck

So crank it up, E100 in the tank,

A Government for the middle class…

It is the NDA Government’s privilege to be working towards fulfilling the aspirations of our middle class. They have contributed to nation-building in countless ways.

Over the last decade, governance has increasingly focused on improving the quality of life of ordinary citizens. Our efforts are about easier access to opportunities, better infrastructure, improved public services, affordable healthcare, quality education, cleaner cities and reduced burdens in everyday life.
