Reading Pakistani newspaper can do this to me
Blueberry jam and cream cheese mix taken at noon is simply delicious, but 4 spoonful can cost up to 15 to 20 ruppees. I blame inflation for depriving me of this treat until now. I wait for the day when a thousand rupee note can lie for hours on the ground unpocketed.
Since every Pakistani citizens seem to have developed a taste of taking advantage of everyone else, Pakistan has come to regularly inhabits the tail end of the last in rankings. I mean the good sort of ranking that marks out the reason why humans live and not commit mass suicide, like health care. And inversely, that can also mean that Pakistan comes first in the "bad" rankings.
Haj pilgrimage costliest for Pakistanis? Inflation during Ramazan in Pakistan while Saudi Arabia lowers prices for the benefit of the poor? The electricity company that triumphs in shamelessness?
I don't believe the KESC brass is not hurt by the profligate inflation rates, judging by the proposed increase in tariff, but there is going to be a bite back from the merchants if they really dare to go ahead with their plan of budgeoning through their crisis by increasing tariffs repeatedly. As I said, taking advantages of fellow countrymen is the norm of the culture here now. So the unprivileged suffers. And the price hikes on, aiming for a pasture higher than the Everest. That, as we all know, is impossible on this planet. So, in truth, the economy should be plunging through thin air right now, though the physics of economy is still managing to keep a front of things.
Of course, there are other factors to the inflation. Textbook examples of them, in fact. Just another proof of the prevalence illiteracy rate in this country.
Know what I mean?
