I agree with your view that its not the govt which caused this dire situation but the private sectors especially IT companies. The value of money is not just going down in the graphs but in the minds of people too. By the way who fixes prices in hotels..

Indian from time immemorail had rice as their staple food and none felt that average consumption was on a soaring graph. Hence this mild boost in living conditions cannot contribute to the baseless claim that Indians have started to consume more of rice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958438776393408146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13948189.post-55441991173359212582008-05-06T10:58:00.000-07:002008-05-06T10:58:00.000-07:00Good Analysis and a thought provoking article.
