The Real GDP


                          INDIA’s Defines GDP----Get Rid of Downtrodden and Poor

World Bank,Standard and Poors, and other economic bodies  are predicting India’s GDP every month on certain parameters. S&P last issued a BBB- rating, with a stable outlook and recently it has gone further down.They have their own calculation methods. Some people say that India will rise in current financial year, others say that growth will decline and after analyzing all the calculations of Big Bodies India is contented that it will survive atleast. We have our own methods and these are classified, even Big Bodies are quite curious to know our methods to evaluate the growth pattern of our country. But, we have the intelligent workforce who is keen not to share our classified analysis pattern. Normally, GDP is considered as overall final value of goods and services produced within a country and to be excise it is calculated on the basis of purchase power parity (PPP) index. To calculate GDP on PPP Index, it is divided by average population of that particular nation that year.So, This is the universal criteria to calculate the growth pattern of any nation. Now, after following this criteria ,we calculated india’s Purchase Power Parity and our politicians and economists decided that a meager 32 rupees a day would be sufficient for Indian poors to survive. I mean if someone can afford this amount of big money i.e Rs. 32 per day, he would not be included in poor category. As per the records of percentage change/growth in GDP by different sectors during last financial year, the Public Sector (Education,Health and Public Administration) has contributed very less .

However, this is the general analysis of our economists and intelligent people. But somewhere, the real picture is hidden. These figures  are manipulated to show our false status to the big bodies so that our status is not effected in terms of our show off value. We still insist that we are doing good as compare to other nations of the world economy and figures below tell our growth pattern to outside world.

But, in real terms all these figures include only 30% of upper population. From upper population, I mean people who are above average in terms of so called Purchasing Power Parity. We don’t mind to include people below average line. There is no place for poor to be counted for this useful data and figures. Our Thinkers of Growth hardly have time to count the real figures. There is a war within when we take on Consumer Price Index. It is very much difficult for Indian government to include such indexes for  calculation of growth patterns. We can debate for years when it comes to revise the Base Year for precise calculations.  We have lot of other things too to debate or think upon, so why to waste time on such meaningless points. In real terms, India defines GDP as Get Rid of Downtrodden and Poor from all the surveys, from all the data and from all calculations. That’s our real growth story. We will continue with the real analysis on our own parameters which are real and carry value and real importance while measuring our growth story. It’s just a start and we have the long way to go……………………………………..

Fight to Right

Walking down the lane,
Everybody around looked insane,
Rushing towards their destination,
Everybody was full of frustration,
In the scorching heat of sun,
Everybody got a perfection to run,
Standing alone in a corner,
I saw a girl crying,
On the footpath of a busy road,
An old man was dying,
Intense pain of girl was flowing through tears,
The old man was moving away from all the worries and fears,
No one bothered to come close,
In the intense heat all the senses froze,
Sun shines after every dark night,
It takes courage to fight for their right.

The Inflamotionary Wedding Week


Indian weddings are the most popular in the world. All colors can be seen on occasion of marriage. People are too happy or enthusiastic for a wedding ceremony. Specially children who are overjoyed in advance to enjoy the marriage invitations. People start their preparations a month before for this auspicious day. All relatives are invited to attend this big day. For some, it is the day to get good food or new clothes , for some it is the day to get good drinks, for some it is the just another hectic day and for some it is just a headache day, depends upon person to person, status to staus and class to class.

Last week was the marriage week for me. I was supposed to attend some of the mandatory marriage ceremonies. That week was the most enjoyable, the most painful, the most ecstatic, the most grieving, the most learning, the most memorable and the most forgettable for me. Now everyone must be wondering how could it be possible to feel all these different emotions in a such a short period of time. This was inflamotionary  week  just like inflationary week. As per economical definition of Inflation, it is steep rise in prices of commodities in a short period of time, just like that inflamotion is steep rise in different emotions in a short period of time. I suffered from inflamotion in this marriage week.

From last 2 years, it was the the first time that I was attending 3-4 marriages in a week. All I could say, this week was waiting for me to keep me involved as well as aloof from our so called society. I met all sort of relatives and friends, listened to their talks, most of the time absurd ones and all this kept me aloof somewhere from them. I am not a big guy with a big job or heavy pockets, but something was there, pushing me away from everybody around me. May be I overfelt my emotions or may be I could not apply appropriate measures to control  the inflamotionary conditions.  But somewhere I got to know, why people are so engrossed in themselves without any reason or entangled in themselves with too many reasons.

 I could see a proud father who was overwhelmed with the success of his son who was able to convince our society for a love marriage, on the same day I also saw a grief stricken father who lost his only son in an accident a few months back, still he was putting a fake smile on his face to curb the deep pain inside his heart. There were people who were trying to be sophisticated and cultured , there were people who were as genuine and humble as they were always, there were people who were overburdened with bookish knowledge, there were people who were genius without reading any book, there were people who were trying to cherish each and every moment, there were people who were trying to avoid or forget things because that didn’t suit their current status. There was not much difference in personal and professional things as everything was messed up around.

However, it was again a learning period for me. I got to know so many people and things in such a short period of time. I applied certain measures to control the inflamotionary conditions, I hope these will be effective on me as well for all people around me.
