If logic could reduce petrol prices !!!

A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast. When he goes to the Kirana store he pays Rs. 12 a dozen. Since a dozen eggs won't last a week he normally buys two dozens at a time. The next time he buys groceries, eggs are Rs. 22 a dozen.
When asked to explain the price of eggs the store owner says, 'The price has gone up and I have to raise my price accordingly'.
This store buys 100 dozen eggs a day. He checked around for a better price and all the distributors have raised their prices. The distributors have begun to buy from the huge egg farms.
The small egg farms have been driven out of business. The huge egg farms sell 100,000 dozen eggs a day to distributors. With no competition, they can set the price as they see fit.
The distributors then have to raise their prices to the grocery stores. And on and on and on.
As the man kept buying eggs the price kept going up. He saw the big egg trucks delivering 100 dozen eggs each day. Nothing changed there.
He checked out the huge egg farms and found they were selling 100,000 dozen eggs to the distributors daily. Nothing had changed but the price of eggs.
Then week before Diwali the price of eggs shot up to Rs. 40 a dozen. Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told, 'Cakes and baking for the holiday'. The huge egg farmers know there will be a lot of baking going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of eggs goes up.
Expect the same thing at Christmas and other times when family cooking, baking, etc. happen. This pattern continues until the price of eggs is Rs. 60 a dozen.
The man says, ' There must be something we can do about the price of eggs'.
He starts talking to all the people in his town and they decide to stop buying eggs. This didn't work because everyone needed eggs.
Finally, the man suggested only buying what you need. He ate 2 eggs a day. On the way home from work he would stop at the grocery and buy two eggs. Everyone in town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day.
The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in his cooler. He told the distributor that he didn't need any eggs.
Maybe wouldn't need any all week. The distributor had eggs piling up at his warehouse. He told the huge egg farms that he didn't have any room for eggs would not need any for at least two weeks.
At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs. To relieve the pressure, the huge egg farm told the distributor that they could buy the eggs at a lower price.
The distributor said, ' I don't have the room for the %$&^*&% eggs even if they were free'. The distributor told the grocery store owner that he would lower the price of the eggs if the store would start buying again.
The grocery store owner said, 'I don't have room for more eggs. The customers are only buying 2 or 3 eggs at a time. Now if you were to drop the price of eggs back down to the original price, the customers would start buying by the dozen again'.
The distributors sent that proposal to the huge egg farmers but the egg farmers liked the price they were getting for their eggs but, those chickens just kept on laying. Finally, the egg farmers lowered the price of their eggs. But only a few paisa.
The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time. They said, 'when the price of eggs gets down to where it was before, we will start buying by the dozen.'
Slowly the price of eggs started dropping. The distributors had to slash their prices to make room for the eggs coming from the egg farmers.
The egg farmers cut their prices because the distributors wouldn't buy at a higher price than they were selling eggs for. Anyway, they had full warehouses and wouldn't need eggs for quite a while. And those chickens kept on laying. Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were throwing away eggs they couldn't sell.
The distributors started buying again because the eggs were priced to where the stores could afford to sell them at the lower price. And the customers starting buying by the dozen again.

Now, transpose this analogy to the gasoline industry.

What if everyone only bought Rs 200.00 worth of Petrol each time they pulled to the pump? The dealer's tanks would stay semi full all the time. The dealers wouldn't have room for the petrol coming from the huge tanks. The tank farms wouldn't have room for the petrol coming from the refining plants. And the refining plants wouldn't have room for the oil being off loaded from the huge tankers coming from the oil fiends.
Just Rs 200.00 each time you buy gas. Don't fill up the tank of your car. You may have to stop for gas twice a week, but the price should come down.

Think about it.

The Good Neighbour!!!

I was lying in my easy chair and having beer when I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon inspection, to my dismay, I realized it was the next door neighbor's 10 year old daughter's rabbit.
For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew today would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it off with the hose, combed it with the Dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing it's grooming I jumped the fence and replaced back in it's cage hoping it's death would be written off as "natural causes".
Back to the easy chair and beer..Within the hour the neighbors car pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: "DDDDDAAAADDDDDDDYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Her father panic stricken stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I am I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father less than calmly blurted, "What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl's dead rabbit and put it back in it's cage?!?!"

Gods own country tales ....

Kerala Ministers on a bike ride ignoring their state cars during the last Hartal Celebration( the "ALL INDIA stike" (above) and the opposition leader entering his car ( who cares about the man in the street?) (below)


The Home minister walking with his wife enroute to a marriage, He didnt use his car in support of the strike cause !!!! What a Noble man.... right????


Violence... apathy... confusion.. derailed life.......



Police vehicles plying the public... Not all of them though !!!!



A family that came for a vacation and obviously regretting !!!!

Roads being digged to prevent the bourgeois elements to break out on the empty roads as police vehicles over see the action !!!

Gods own country indeed... U need to think of him again and again to survive here!!!!

They said its a gr888 place... NGC>>>BBC etc... is dis the same place?????


And a state minister ( Marxist ) who had better things to do than waste time walking, cycling or pillion ride behind bikes with drivers with no helmets....

Hartal/bandh raj!!!

A 12 year old boy with brain tumour and en route to Bangalore to get treated, trapped at Calcutta railway station for 8 long hours... and this happens the latest "all India Strike" organised by the Left trade unions... As usual, it affected Bengal and Kerala and that is it ....

A red flag in rest of India could be seen only at a railway station... Where it affected it affected fully.. The Kerala High court ban not withstanding... Kerala celebrates this nonsense with all vigour, week after week, for some reason or the other throwing life in disarray and progress takes a back seat...

It is often discussed but the guts to initiate action is lacking... here is attached a news report dat flashed across media( not the leftist media for sure) where mother who was trapped at Trivandrum couldnt return home to Kottayam to see her dead sons body for one last time...It is merciless but not for the CITU leader MM Lawrence who justified the whole issue non chalantly..

Such specimens who resemble Stalinist Russia could be only seen here and here only...

And they will take us no where... absolutely to nothingness...

If this is Gods own country, I cannot help but wonder,, how will hell look like??
