Beggars are no choosers


Rents are skyrocketing and getting unaffordable, and the poor public cannot do anything about it but to surrender to the avarice of the Landlord and real estate agents. Expense for education is getting exorbitant but the parents have to educate their wards. And yet entitlements remains stagnant for the majority and nothing can be done about that ! 

Roads are strewn with traffic chaos and the public is treated as guinea pigs with experiments on a daily basis; but the poor lots cannot do anything about it. Few officials in the offices and banks are introducing more and more rules making the already tough bureaucracy still tougher. They want not only the photocopies, but signature on all copies while submitting a simple application which hitherto went on smoothly. For different applications from the office the officials insist different Trade License & passport copies. Instead of simplifying the procedure and saving time and energy of all concerned some are bent upon creating more and more problems. And the affected cannot react. Depositing a cheque which used to take less than a minutes due to the innovation of the rule by some ‘cranky genius’ now takes almost an hour thus wasting  much precious time of customers.

Telephone Department is not charging any commission on Credit cards, but  Electricity Department are bent upon charging commission to the poor public for the fault of their using credit cards. Air Lines and Taxi drivers are hiking the charges; for they cannot afford to run with the old charges- their burden is conveniently thrown to the public again. Supermarkets, shopping malls, pharmacies, Restaurants all are continuously increasing the prices of commodities and again the public has to bear the brunt. Beggars are no choosers – are they?
