INFLATION !

"Yawnnnnnn"!! That could be your first reaction,right?

And u think am going to reproduce another Eco-times article here with measures RBI is taking to curb the inflation rate, about how it has jacked up interest rates to cool down inflation, about how aam-aadmi is being molested by these news every morning etc etc??!!!....Well, in effect I did manage to summarize the "Inflation-news" for the "Non-ET-reading" species!
Anyways, my take on the much hated 9 lettered word called "INFLATION" is with respect to... WEI-- {wait for it....(oops I said it!!!)} --GHT!
Ok, Its WEIGHT!{ Barney effect}

In these times of Inflation (the economic one), its amazing how I see people around me look inflated. Ashamed to admit, but I am no different.

Food items are expensive,
Excessive eating makes you fat,
College going kids are always short of money,
"I am putting on kgs after kgs"!!

Well if you are going to apply the "A=B & B=C then A=C " rule here to the above 4 lines, its not going to fit...just like my clothes now-a-days! :-(

Sample this:

An aunty comes to my house and first thing she says,
Aunty: "Hey you have put onnn....*PAUSE*PAUSE*"

And I check for the following things:

1- My head {to see what have I "PUT ON" my head).
Me: "No aunty, Its MY hair, I havent "PUT ON" a wig!"

2- My accent {to see if I suddenly have "PUT ON" an accent}
Me: "But Aunty, I havent even spoken yet...Ok, I did now, but fake accent is a "PUT OFF" ,right??"

3- My face { to check if someone "PUT ON" some makeup whilst I was asleep}
Me: " Awwww....Aunty, U make me blush..hehe...I just look good.Period "

And soon the realisation dawned...When she pointed her dreaded Index finger in the direction of .....OH MY GOD...my "Inflated Tummy"!!!

So, thats what the equation is: *PAUSE*PAUSE* = WEIGHT !!

And so, the sentence that I thought was incomplete without a noun...Well, thats one of the most-often used sentences around me nowadays! And I know why this seems to be happening....I guess I missed the most important 5th line to my "4 liner":

Line1--Food items are expensive,
Line2--Excessive eating makes you fat,
Line3--College going kids are always short of money,
Line4--"I am Putting on kgs after kgs"!!
......And the missing line.....
Line5-- The Indian middle class and younger age bracket is Shining!

And after having given 100s of GDs recently and in preparation read many many magazines and newspapers, I bet, theres a stiff competition between the 4th & 5th line, with respect to which one's spoken more often!

AaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh....M sick of them!!!

Let me enjoy INFLATION in times of INFLATION!!!!! Burrrrpppp!
