That's Me!!!



That is me !



Few decades back, all the Gods, cutting across religious lines, very worried over something, assembled themselves in one big corner of the Eden.

Of this lot for all obvious reasons maximum were the Hindu Gods & Deities; more than 33 crores, very much as mentioned in the Hindu Mythology - and increasing daily !

All Gods were terribly upset, angry and somewhat afraid of this lad, who though was born in a small town, was relatively less read & less traveled; had somehow learnt the true ways of Gods' great kingdoms. The evil creations of belief, morality, virtue, righteousness etc. formed the kingdoms of the Gods' and ensured that all human lived a suppressed life governed by God's hoodlums everywhere.

This lad told people about breaking away from the shackles of all these kingdoms and to live a life full of unadulterated, divine & eternal happiness thus available.

People had now started to believe in the lad. Now there were lesser queues outsides churches, temples, mosques and so on. The monetary collections of all religious gangsters were showing decline, worldwide!
Very worried, the Gods exchanged thoughts amongst themselves and unanimously cursed this lad to be on an aimless wanderlust for his lifetime!

Cursed to be on the move, no one by him, no one to be called his & no place to be called his own!

This was the Gods' punishment to the lad for trying to displace the Gods from their high & supreme positions!

Gods are Gods & shall remain so probably ! There word started to work upon the lad’s mortal life.

The wanderlust of the lad started! From one place to another, one relationship to other. Magic happened - very suddenly his own people stopped recognising him!

The poor lad did not understood for several years that it a curse & conspiracy of the Gods' to punish him for his effort to give people freedom from a life bound by dead religious customs & verdicts !

The lad was told about this by a fairy; who had fallen from the skies in his arms.

The lad closed his eyes, thought for a moment. The thought of being CURSED was painful.

The only way to get his roots for the lad was to uproot the Gods' & their collective curse. Mammoth task & insurmountable.

He raised his eyes towards the skies and with tears in his eyes told to the Gods' " If you all want so - SO IT WILL HAPPEN !"

- " But I challenge you". The lad with his closed eyes & head held high towards the skies DECLARED, “ I bless myself to live & roam around on this planet aimlessly, till each human of this planet has broken away from the shackles created by you GODS' & your religiuos hoodlums and gangsters. Also now this entire universe would be my family !"

And then he broke into laughter’s & giggles cuddling the Fallen Angel in his arms !

Since then the battle is on ! Gods' as ever are Gods'! And the lad is me - Jinesh Bhanu Jain; Alias Joker Johny !

Trying To Understand The Mumbo Jumbo Of Petrol Prices In India !



-I am trying to understand this stupid arithmetic of Petrol Prices in India !!!

Majority of petrol, diesel, kerosene, lubricants business in the country is carried out by Government Companies like ONGC, HP, BP etc.

This includes the oil business of importing, exploration, rigging, processing, retailing etc.

These Government owned companies are inefficient, mammoth in size, badly managed.

Majority of the Crude Oil is Imported by these companies and Government charges Import Duty over it. Ultimately the consumer pays for this.

When the Crude Oil is processed or whatever, Government levies Excise Duty, which obviously comes to the Government coffers and in the end is on the consumers wallets.

Now on the transportation of the same finished products, the Transporters are charged Service Tax. Goes to the Government. Ultimately the consumer pays.

Now at the Retail level on every Sales of Petrol Products, Sales Tax is charged by the Government. same result.

There is an Educational Cess too.

These retailers are Corrupt to the core. Consumer gets only 75% value of his money. Consumer pays.


From the Tax Payers Money, to keep these White Elephants floating with merry & retain their NAVRATNA tag; the Government subsidizes these companies Lakhs of Crores annually. This is we Public's money only.

Subsidies lead to Fiscal Deficit and hence overall Inflation.

Government subsidizes Kerosene in the name of poor. Kerosene is distributed through Public Distribution System ( PDS ). PDS in India is all Fucked Up. The subsidies are eaten up by Company Employees & Middlemen. Consumer Pays & Poor do not get Kerosene.

Now, these companies shout that they are incurring losses so increase the Prices or they will be in trouble.

The Private Players are unable to come & compete as the NAVRATNA's are heavily subsidized & corrupt. Consumer has got restricted choice.

Government jacks up the prices. Then Government Jacks up the prices again & again & again !!!!!!


Why the fuck ?????? or What the fuck???

These are Government companies. Government is charging and keeping the money as Import Duty, Excise Duty, Sales Tax, Service Tax etc etc.

Then why the hell is Government Jacking Up the Prices to help its own Mismanaged companies???? Haven't we paid enough already to the Government as various taxes???

I do not understand this. Some economist friend will have to come to my help to explain this Mumbo Jumbo.

Anyone???
