Dr Sundar quoted the price of food items; what about salary and pension in 2014 and 2024? In 2004 as a class one going by flight was still graded by levels; and me going by flight on own was uni,imaginable. 2014 I find a few lungis sitting by my side; and 2024 chennai tirunelveli flight ticket is not available but vande bharata is because even my poem flies; why are you worried about those who do not have pension? If you need all the 8 billion to do the same thing and you call it equality it is an utopia. Why I bet, 99% of us in the groups were not rich when young; and now only; then how did your parents educate you and live a happy life? Poverty will be there; richness will dance; Kings and palanquin bearers must be there; or else there is no King to be differentiated. If you say provide basic minimum wages for food ,limited dress and residence enough had to be provided; rest is Karma. Who knows, in the next janma we may be born as a beggar too. Life is glorious and living makes it beautiful. Did I ask the peon to fly with me?; do I have to only fly when vande bharath is available are questions to be pondered over towards the savings needed. So let us not pretend we care more for the poor as we will not part out wealth as Karna did. K Rajaram IRS 31124
