Big B and Dhoni with HONEY

My previous blog was about Sugar.

And now…

She asked me, “Hey how does your sugar taste?”

I looked at her, drawing my eyebrows towards one another, came out with a halka (soft) reply. “Of course neither sweet, nor sour and not bitter either”.

She looked at me and I knew another question was coming. “MEANS???” (in a confused tone)

“Simple”, was my reply. “But but but but but did see the Dabur Honey Ad…hidden secret.” (smiles)

In bewilderment she went her way.

Sugar Sings Sweet

Today I poured another kilo of sugar into the empty jar. Rationing of sugar in a family is something which I, why only I, many households never thought about. Sugar prices have shot up within a few months.

Who has given the Shot at the rising prices of sugar? Of course the government and the concerned Minister. How much it may rise, with direct shots, my cup of tea is not going to go without sugar. Hey! I need sweetness in my tea.

Minister says ration your sugar. But we don’t have a Ration Card? Pheeew?

Minister says many people are suffering from Diabetes, eat less sugar. Haaah!!!

Minister, those who are not suffering from Sugar Ka Bimari will no doubt suffer from Loss of Sugar in their body. Ummm###

Some suffer from Diabetes and others are made to suffer from Loss of Sugar in their body. One way or the other the rise in sufferers from health problems are going to go up.

Standing at the cross roads of the Sugar problem in this country with the rising price, people will no doubt consume sugar even with the rising price.

After all Sugar-Sings-Sweet.

Weak Monsoon Rising Prices

The rising price of essential commodities is one of the major problems this country is facing at present. Before the people could reconcile with the rising price of dals, there came another bolt from the blue. Sugar price rise caused harm to the common man’s pocket before the previous sore could totally heal.

Sugar is one of the main essential commodities in every household. Government comes up speaking about shortage in sugarcane plantation and a weak monsoon, a cause for which the people have to suffer. It is believed, from the account of the Agriculture Minister, to make up the shortage in sugar supply, duty-free white sugar will be imported. Along with it comes the assurance that the price of sugar will remain reasonable.

The coming of the major festivals of this country in a couple of months when sugar will be in demand, it is to be seen how helpful these words of consolation can be?

With very little rainfall this year, this country which depends mostly on a good monsoon for agriculture will no doubt have a tough time ahead. A weak monsoon has hit crops like sugarcane, wheat, paddy and pulses which are the major crops. No doubt this has hit the inflation chart too.

Soaked in the sweat from the heat how can anyone say, “Rain, rain, go away come again…”

Just have to wait and see when the prices have taken a soar will they come down again.

We live with Hope, isn’t it?
