We have Octopuses everywhere. Global Octopuses. Indian Octopuses. Millions of People believe that Gods and Goddesses of various religions control their lives. But it does not appear to be so. Advertisers, Marketers, Political Scoundrels, Film Scoundrels, Sports Scoundrels seem to dictate our lives and make us idiots of ourselves. Anyway, a question will arise: Who asked you to become idiots? If you decide to control yourselves, will you become an idiot? If a person refuses to be hypnotized, even the best hypnotist cannot take possession of a person.
I am, of late, fully engaged in writing investigative studies of vAlmIki rAmAyaNa and vyAsa mahAbharata, both the Sanskrit versions. Hence, I could not do much justice to this blog, which is very dear to my heart.
I do not believe in fate or providence, as an atheist and Marxist. But today, as though to make me believe in providence or to remind me about my duty to take care of my Indian Economy blog, Walmart.Com draggedme towards it.

What "pariyatra mountain" have got to "party tray mountain"?
I know my readers can easily solve this riddle.
I shall continue with my remarks:
Our Prime Minister Mr. ManmOhan Singh and the Finance Minister Mr. praNab mukherjee are very keen on introducing foreign retail chains into Indian Markets. I must say that they do not know the consequences of their actions.
Our India is a country, 90% of whose citizens do not have money to buy a loin cloth, when it is badly needed. 10% of the people may probably need 'mountain party trays'. The 90% of the people may prefer to buy cheap liquor and postpone their purchases of loin cloths. The 10% of the people may also already own posh cars and also mountain party trays. They may also own hundreds of schotch whisky or cobra wine bottles. They may even have sufficient number of party tray mountains.
Thus, do we need a walmart.com to remind us that 431 items are available online and in stores?
