People who look just below their feet are bound to crash into something they 
had not seen beyond. At last onions have reached Rs. 100 in some parts of 
Bangalore. Now those who cheer 5-star development must go to KFC and Taj for 
cheaper food, isn't it? Shameless Indians are now turning to Pakistan for 
onions. The worst is not yet over, it is to come. We must get rid of our fields 
for wide roads and cricket stadiums which will guarantee food security for the 
future, won't it? After all the car manufacturers have hit record sales for 
2010 and we need not only NDA's Golden Quadrangle to accomodate the cars but we 
can now dream of UPA's Platinum Quadrangle to provide for the future cars to 
roll out. KFC and Domino's will feed this nation. Super malls and 5-star hotels 
and micro-industries will subsidise food for the masses. If that does not 
happen then probably renowned development experts like Charles, Dean and Brian 
or allopaths like Oscar will help goans get cheaper food. Journalist like 
Ashwin and Sanjay will also come to the rescue of goans from wherever they are 
by then.
We are blessed the troika of Montek, Manmohan and Chidambaram to propell this 
nation into feeding on electronic chips from USA and UK. So let us get rid of 
our forests, fields, lakes and livestock to make way for our luxurious living. 
I just pray for a food scarcity and high costs. At least that may open our eyes 
just like it did to our ancestors in Goa that were forced to look out for 
agriculture lands to grow crops during the World War II food scarcity. 
Cheers without tears!
