The public anger against the toll on NICE peripheral and link roads is understandable. It is pinching when the recession is hitting. Rs. 2.5 per km is expensive even for the rich in any standard. But, Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE) can any way help? The promoter can make the road affordable for the users only at the cost of its profit that is not defendable. Allowing business houses to bleed would lead to economic disaster pulling economy to hit the rock bottom. Don’t feed poor robbing rich because rich also become poor leaving nobody to rob further. This is the lesson we learnt from the mistakes we committed in the socialist era.

The man, who hurled shoes at US president George W Bush, is a celebrity in Iraq today. He is seen as a hero who represented the anguish of the fellow citizens. Yes, he would have been a hero had he done this heroic deed as a citizen. Venting out ire and protesting so publicly and so effectively against a giant like America is indeed worth seeing as a heroic deed provided the man is a common man representing common men.

On a right note the Indian policy makers have sent a clear message that India is not war hungry. Taking on terror, on the floor of the parliament, the leaders were not rhetoric while sounded sensible. Minister for External affairs Pranab Mukarji said war against Pakistan was not the option that India was looking at.

Thanks to recession prices have come down. A car is affordable, as both purchase and fuel cost have slid. A house is not as expensive as it was six months ago. A five star hotel room is not so costly and even flying is poised be cheaper. What else one wants to enjoy life? Everything is ok, alas! where is the money?
