So, the markets crashed last Friday. "Carnage in Indian markets..."-
the headline screamed to make me aware about the situation. Our very
own Rupee is stripping in front of the mighty Dollar. It is a guessing
game that up to what extent Rupee will fall. And to add to this chaos,
our government has revealed too many scams to undermine the traces of
faith in the system.
How does this make an impact on a common
Indian woman like me? I do not have an impressive portfolio of shares.
So what if markets crashed? Sorry Rupee!!! But your great fall is not
affecting me directly so far. Scams make me realize that how less I earn
compared to the amount involved in the scams.But other than self-pity,
scams do not affect me either.
But somewhere deep inside, I'm
scared. Will my job be safe in the gloomy slowdown conditions? When will
the falling and angry Rupee start pinching my household budget? How
soon eating my favorite pizza each weekend will become a luxury? Yes,
I'm scared. Unfortunately, neither I can allay my fears nor I can save
the Rupee from falling. As I wonder more about the plight of the common
(wo)man, onion seems missing from my salad. Sigh!!!
