The Budget Fuss ...

oh my God !!! today was union budget.. There was nothing else on News channels other than the face of the dhoti clad man , who with just a suitcase was able to make the entire nation speak about him. ( which even SRK can't manage).

& to add to that .. There are dicussions on his budget (before & after)..
Good budget ,Bad budget , Rate the Budget ,axe the tax campaign ( the most absurd programme which claims that the FM slashed tax rates coz they recommended it.) , if i were FM , aam aadmi , farmers budget , election budget etc etc.. ( too tiring & irritating !!)

The most irritating part of those discussions are the fact that they talk about the issues which they dont have any personal relevance too.. for eg:- There was the MD of a software company speaking highly about farmer loans waiver.. My advice to them.. Dont speak ! & if u r given a chance by some TV channel , speak relevant.

If someone says that "The day the Union Budget is presented is considered by many observers to be the most important of India's political calendar. It usually has an immediate effect on the nation's stock exchanges and also has possible short term political implications" SLAP THEM HARD ! Nothing of that sort happens ..

Farm loans were waived today , DID THE PRICE OF AGRO STOCKS GO UP ???? . On the contrary , it plunged down..


--> You want to know what budget just is ???
Simple , The Budget (from french bougette) generally refers to a list of all planned expenses and revenues. In other terms, a budget is an organizational plan stated in monetary terms.

For a country and economy like India , There needs to be a Real time Financial Plan..
Dont pile up for budget and dont waste the last day of february.

In my personal opinion , too much is being aired , written , planned about the so called "UNION BUDGET FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2008-09" .It doesnt deserve more than half an hour slot on the last day of february & that too on a leap year...

Mr Peter Roebuck ?? Sudden transformation...???



Statement 1 :- "Beyond comparison it was the ugliest performance put up by an Australian side for 20 years. The only surprising part of it is that the Indians have not packed their bags and gone home. There is no justice for them in this country, nor any manners."

Statement 2 :- "INDIA'S performance in chartering a plane to take the players back home in the event of an independent judge finding against them in the Harbhajan Singh case counted amongst the most nakedly aggressive actions taken in the history of a notoriously fractious game. If this is the way the Indian board intends to conduct its affairs hereafter, then God help cricket."

So... Why this contradiction in 2 weeks..???
I do not understand why Mr Peter Roebuck has contradicted himself... Its pity to see that this is the standard of newspaper columns and the persons who write it..
