local economy over international...

Was going thru the Economic Times and felt like having something. Ordered coffee and vada from the nearby snacks stall. This guy makes mouth watering crispy vada and has a huge fan following. After few minutes, the chotu came with the vadas and steaming coffee. The vadas were hot & crispy that it need to be taken like this instantaneously (sometimes raw approach is so exhilarating). Forget the decorum and plates !!!

When i saw those vadas over ET, i thought is this the triumph of "local economy over international" and my socio-economic mind started working. How much will this person earn every day? Am sure, he sells atleast 1000 vadas everyday. That works out to a saving of cool INR1000/day (vada alone) after meeting all the operational expenses. INR30000/month (saving) for a 4th class fail...

Compare it with the guys with education from best business schools and their ET knowledge, who incur losses in crores thru their stock market analysis. hahaha. What a weird world this is...and we proclaim that upliftment of downtrodden will mean doom !!!

From no-age to stone-age to iron-age to IIT-IIM-age to TCS/Infosys-age, we evolved from the scratch. No one was born with PLATINUM spoon. We evolved from zero and may leave this world with zero. Then what is this big fuss about. Let every tom, dick & harry be given a chance to evolve. Given a chance, they may also evolve from being a stone spoon user to a platinum spoon user. Afterall every student currently at IIT or IIM or AIIMS had a common ancestor who evolved from no-age !!!

Seems i've let my weird thoughts wander too much. Coming back, i enjoyed my crispy vada, steaming coffee and the M&A based inorganic growths in ET...
