50paisa inflation!

Inflation, the 'deadliest' word these days which is giving shivers to everyone right from the government to the Below Poverty Line people; has hit each and every thing in our day-to-day life! This is very bad for a common man / middle class and lower class people are the most affected and these are the people who will bear the brunt. One instance of how inflation has factored in our day to day life was experienced by me yesterday! In the afternoon, daily we (my team colleagues) will have a tea-break and yesterday we went to our daily shop to have our tea. Each cup of tea would cost Rs 2/- and it tastes good also! Yesterday, I volunteered to pay the money and I gave the tea shop fellow Rs 10/- for 4 cups of tea, and was waiting to get Rs 2/- back from him. As I was looking to get the change back from him, after couple of seconds he said the amount given (Rs 10/-) is correct! Then my friend told that from couple of days back, the tea now costs Rs 2.50/-, 50 paisa increase in each cup of tea OR 25% increase!! All thanks to the inflation, we have to pay 50 paisa more for each cup of tea now!! For us, middle class people, this 50 paisa sounds small but if you consider the state of Lower class and BPL class people, it is worse for them! 50 paisa, 1 rupee still means a lot for them and going forward they will not be able to afford this 'big' price increase! Still wonder where this inflation is headed to and what will be the future state of things! Need to wait and see how things shapes up...A worthy wait!! :-)
