Earlier the BJP government decided what my platter of food should and shouldn't have which didn't obviously go down well with me but as a law abiding citizen I accepted the set down rule. Now they have done it again. This time a sudden rule on demonetisation has left the lives of the common man in such misery. Standing through the day in long serpentine lines just to reach the counter to be told they have run out of cash. The next afternoon after the announcement I got into a rickshaw and barely two minutes after I started my journey shrieked out to the rickshaw driver to stop. He was a little startled at my reaction and asked me the cause of my sudden reaction. I told him that I just had a 500/- & 1000/- rupees note each on me. He was amused and responded that the medical stores and the petrol pumps do take the old currency. I heaved a sigh of relief and asked him to stop at the first medical store on our way as I also had to make some purchases at the medical store. And now the latest on the amount of withdrawals being reduced to 2000/- rupees per day. How does the government think that it can decide on what I eat first and now on how much I should spend on a day out with my family? No small time vendor has change to the newly introduced 2000/- rupees note and so I am forced to take my family to a mall and there I have to spend miserly as I do not have too much to spend. Life has been turned topsturvy by a government who promised change. We never in our wildest dreams thought that Chang could have a completely new meaning in your dictionary and in our lives. Seriously can't wait for the next elections to come. The common man has been cheated yet again. In our good old Arnab Goswami's words India wants to know how long will this be the way it is.
