Amused And Bemused.

I was amused and bemused at the same time.The two verbs may appear similar , but certainly carry a distinctive meaning. Amusement is a distraction, is a light pastime, is an entertainment. More so , it is something frivolous and funny

Bemused is a confusion of many contradictory ideas, is a mixed up feeling ,is a bewilderment,. More so , it is something perplexing and stunning. Well, the incident which provoked the kindred feelings of foolishness and cluelessness is the behaviour of my legal counsels . I say it in plural legal counsels, because I refer to two of them , one fromIndia and the other from abroad. Both of them , in my case preached what they did not practise.

The Indian lawyer has a wide and deep knowledge , but shows a high handedness in dealing with his clients. He dislikes queries. He requires a thorough submission to his arguments. Doubts or queries are totally out of context in his directions. He affirms a preordained solution to the case he is going to take up, and prepares his points accordingly. The client, a person with a sort of deep analysis of the circumstances, more so like me , cannot be a dumb spectator to his fancies. He , when faced with a little opposition , looses his temper which is truly a sign of intolerance and a significance of pride. The case ,which he argued got a slight beating . He was ruffled by the judge’s rejoinder. This episode provoked me most. An uncanny negligence to the client’ request was an irritating approach. it certainly bemused me. I derived amusment when his child like prattle received a derogatory remark by the learned Judge.

His counterpart abroad, is a senior counsel, mostly handling cases pertaining to property disputes. The clintele of this worldy wise lawyer are a group of Indians , who have faith in his age than inhis wisdom. This group relied on his peculiar concept of settling the dispute on the basis of majority rather than on the fundamentals of merit.To him majority is a gospel . Merit is secondary. His hypothesis runs lik this. if in a family , which has four siblings, and if three of them conjoin together , with disturbing parameters , with non con firming ethics ,the lone fourth man is out of the game, however much his side be thronged with credits and propound a collective justifiable issues. The three siblings , would have combined for reasons best known to them . The learned lawyer, stoops to the level of the majority, just because he can earn a relevant revenue . This counsel is a butt of amusement , as he plays on the fiddle of ignorance of his clients and keeps his coffers full, and is a source of bemusement , as his impressions and movements predict confusion and lack justice.

Politics is the last reort of scoundrels , goes the maxim. What about lawyers?

Deficits Many

The deficit which is talked with firm measurement, which is addressed with grea t attention , which is followed with much curiosity, and which finally aims to clench the hot spot of the arena is the financial discrepency.

Finance plays a vital role in this materialistic world. Most feel that finance is the be end of the entire discretions. But , it is not so .Finance , is a trivial echo of the assigned portfolios of man.The money, we earn, is to be utilised ,for the welfare of the family in particular and for the uplift of the society in general.The deficit ,we experience,will surely land us in unthinkable trouble. The existence will become difficult. This suppressing tension will lead to mental spasm. The insecurity which arise will affect the mind. The complex developed will assume gigantic proortions , once the tighteness inthe resources arrives at a determintal level.

The restlesness of the mind is so oppressing that the physic gets waned. The exhaustion numbs the mobilty.The strained physic makes a detiorarating stance. .The illness that afflicts the body plays havoc rendering it a bag of bones ,capable of doing nothing.

The financial instabilty ,if taken seriously ,brings about a cyclic reaction ,as seen above. The alluring deviation of material abundance should not cross the human existence. This ups and downs in prosperity , is but a normal occurrence , as we perceive dawn and dusk. A too much attachment to worldly pleasures , turns life unworthy. It derides the quality of living. It throws out of proportion the beauty of life.

A detached equanamity towards material pursuits will enhance the essence of life. Care and caution are to be enforced to monitor wealth. But that should not become an obsession. There are other distinctions that have high value. The formidable revenue ,we get from life is not material wealth but an overallgrowth of personality . The showcase of richness is not money , but the physical wellness and mental contentment. Happiness does not come in pounds and dollars , but in the outlook and perception, in elegance and style, in approach and advance..

Inflation Negative.

Inflation is not growing . It is showing negative trends. This is being propounded by all Indian Newspapers and newswires. I have my own doubts.

Today the government has announced a rise in petrol prices by 4Rs and diesel prices by 2 Rs. This will give a jump in fares of public transport system. The common man will be affected. The trains will increase the cost of the tickets. Airlines will jack the fare with the escaltion in fuel cost. They will air lift the taxes.The freight despatches will become expensive. This will ultimately promote enhancement in the cost of provisions, vegetables and fruits. The manufacturing industry will be accruing heavy toll in the procurement of raw materials and outbound conveyance of finished goods. The circle is painstakingly completed.

The price of essential commodities like rice which was sold at 20 Rs / kilogram last year , is sold at 40 Rs now. This price is for the uality rice. Simaltaneous hike is revealed in other food stuff also. Dhal is up by 20%. Tamarind by 50%. Sugar by 12%. coffee by 60%, Tea nearly40%. Vegetables are not left out. Tomatoes are range bound from 20 Rs -30 Rs.Potatoes remain constant. Carrot, beans, brinjal , cauliflower have shot up. Peas and capsicum are touching new highs. Onions and garlic have increased marginally.The fruits also reckon high growth in prices. Oranges and grapes are fetching high money.Coconut is the only commodity that is facing inflation negative.

So much so . with the commodities sector ,which are raked by the rising . The precious metals shine so costly that the up rise is beyond comprehension. A gram of gold is about 1369Rs. Silver is no lesser than the yellow metal . It is about 23.90 Rs per gram..The land value is putting me in deep deliberation. A piece of land which was sold for 300.ooo Rs a few years back is 1. 5 million now. A small time land owner will automatically become a millionaire . What a phenomenal rise. All things make me swoon, render me dizzy. I need help both physically and financially to survive the test of times. But , I see no light.

Yet the government calls it out that there is down trend in inflation. The little economics ,I know , makes me count otherwise. How do the analysts reckon such a data? I am at a loss to understand the principles of economy. The rudiments of business never get into my head. I feel ,there is something radically wrong in my upper chamber.God forbid!
