AND HOW CAN WE FORGET THE CARS OF THE RISING MIDDLE CLASS

AND YEAH OUR LATEST INVENTION --- NANO

We are all on a rise! Our standard of living has risen significantly. Cars are become more of a need than greed. Almost everyone has one and some have two, three or four too. That’s good news! Right? Our demands are kind off equaling our supply especially in this sector.

But we shouldn’t forget the law of averages. It evens out on everyone. So here goes the icing on our delicious cake. No marks for guessing it’s the petrol prices and the rise in the crude oil prices. Which is likely to touch the 150$/barrel mark by 4th July 08.

The price has almost doubled in six months.

The shortage in oil would slowly lead to increase in price rise and directly affect inflation on a very large scale. Everything around us is going to be costlier for sure. If the prices keep on doubling every six months then it would be plainly impossible to run our vehicles. The time is coming when petrol would slowly ad gradually even become Rs.100/litre. Life would come completely to a standstill.

We would be back to square one, well off people using horses and elephants for commuting and the poor using donkeys. The rich would have a little advantage, maybe they have a driver for their HONDA AND BSA CYCLES! Jokes apart our myopic vision has to think about the long term goals if they want to exist in future and not lose all luxuries in one go.
