Another recession.....!!!


Nowadays there is a hue and cry on recession.

In my dictionary it is a new word. I never heard about it couple of months before. And then suddenly I became so aware about it and its scary wrinkled face. Now I think I can claim expertise on this as I know why US goes into recession, why there is only 5% property booked in Burj-Al-Khalifa, why Germans are shouting when their government bails out the sinking Greece,why the European banks are kneeling,will it be Icelands turn now etc etc. I can also put worthy comment on property Bubble burst and believe me its scary; not at all like childhood colorful soap bubble burst. I know that we can pump water into a tub I never heard that money can also be pumped into economy and that also pump,pump and pump to a leaky bucket. Cool new learning for me indeed.

I silently praise the warriors who pacifies me saying "Dont worry...Things will be okay...I have seen how many IT guys loose jobs on DOT.COM burst". Man, seems this burst is more scarier than the tyre bursts in US Highway 50 or the hill-way towards Ladakh with no spare tyre..!! I like those warriors face expression when they take so pleasure to relate various stories related to the DOT.COM burst time. Sometimes I think IT guys love to get worried and tensed. But thinking and real life scenario might be different, so I follow the experts advice - "Sit tight wherever you are...keep ticking 12 hours without and chaos in office and if needed buy some Fevicol to apply on your office chair". As I told, I admire my warriors and thus I follow their golden suggestions. After all I am new in recession.

But I think, some other form of recessions starts longgg....long before the 'US/Dubai property market' or 'European banks' or 'Greece economy' fails.That is recession in humanity.
In public transport while getting in we elbow some spectacled aged guy to grab a seat meant for elders or more needy person and pretend to sleep. We rush while driving cutting in and out of lane. That's different matter that whom I overtook sometimes stops next to my lane at a RED light. We shamelessly show some other persons work as mine in office to please my blind boss and take a nap after lunch when working-from-home keeping the messenger status as 'VERY BUSY'. We don't care the stupid pedestrians at ZEBRA crossing and why should we when we are riding in BMW and he is crossing the road with a shabby bag full of vegetables. We don't bother if you catch us kissing at the back alley and why should we when you might also did the same when you were young. We are quick to press the lift button if we see others are coming, after all it is kinda subtle pride we feel that we will reach my floor faster than you. We don't care any more to know why my next-door neighbours son crying or why the ambulance came late night to our small society. In fact there if no point of knowing when we barely know any of my neighbours. What we know nowadays is only the "I and we" and yes of course the "You" provided that "You" is either my girlfriend or my BOSS.

Clearly the other form of recession started long before but till now I didn't find any warriors whom I can praise or any government who can pump,pump and pump humanity.

I am still searching and I doubt I will find ever as I know the numbers of the warriors are very less and the hole in the leaky bucket is pretty big.
