इकोनोमी स्लोव्दोवं - मेरी analysis

At its best, my understanding of economics is nill. Yet i feel compelled to share my thoughts on the economic slowdown. So i decided to write about it from my point of view.

let me start with Jagat, a colleague in office..somehow he seems to understand the entire crisis so well n describes it articulately....His jargon seems so perfect that i feel like asking him to step up as a president of the world n save us from this crisis....The punk has a lot of serious stuff inside him n i m sure one day he vld do something really gr8 for the country....I feel jittery after hearing him speak......

Then there is Manjunat & Nagesh....Both of them are too mature for their age.....Their calmness makes me wonder if they know the current crises as well as its solution....They have an expression 'grow up kid...and learn to deal with this crisis'.....I feel inferior after talking to them on this topic

Then...there is the owner of the small cafe in my office...dont be fooled by the name 'CAFE'...it is just an enlarged version of a roadside hut.....Anywz coming back to the topic.....this stupid hotel is always crowded......the food isnt that great....nor is the hygiene or service.....the fact that people are flocking in huge numbers gives me a assurance that there is no slowdown......dont ask me how this cafe can be taken as an representative for an entire country.....I just want to believe that things are alright n this cafe gives me some kind of assurance.....that's it.....

Being a couch potato , i love watching TV....but these days the news people have just one thing to tell......layoffs, more layoffs and some more layoffs....This is followed by the sensex analysis.....n i m totally depressed.....These things are the last nail in the coffin.....

Finally, talking to my dad (a Insurance industry veteran with more than 33 yrs of work experience)i just have one thought in my mind..."WHY GOD WHY.....WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO ME ALL THE TIME ......I M YET TO MAKE GOOD MONEY IN LIFE.....WHY THE HECK THIS RECESSION CAME UP NOW".....


The above paragraphs describes pretty much the perception i have bou the slowdown.....My only fear is that is this thing goes on and on...i vld someday be deprived of my favorite burgers n pizzas.....Ya that right ....I fear the most that i might be deprived of the tasty burger from Burger king n Mc Donalds.....There is no point in surviving without them.....No i m nt being childish......This is the thing which i really fear.....
