Government continues to hike the prices of petrol to fill its kitty. An article in HT today wrote that 40% of what we pay goes as taxes and duties to the government… hardly any surprise here. Together with direct and indirect taxes, you are paying 50% or your hard earned money to the govt. and in return you get bad roads to drive on, polluted air to breath, dirty water to drink and have to face frequent power-cuts. If the govt. can break Team Anna, which comprised of highly educated lawyers and ex-bureaucrats… then how can a common man escape from this?

Hindustan Times ran a story today where an Air India pilot was grounded for thanking passengers for flying AI as it helped paid for his salary. This would have gone unnoticed has it not been for a passenger who called AI’s top officials and ask them how he could donate to AI. That did not go down very well with AI and they grounded the pilot. The reason for grounding was that the Pilot showed AI in poor light.. oh come on AI, everyone knows you image is in shambles and by doing this you have brought it down further.
