Sabse Bada Rupaiya !

 Will I take back home a fatter salary ?

Will my investments yield higher returns ?

Will car prices fall ?

Will my business benefit ?

Well ! such may be the picture common of us all .. 

truly ! sabse bada rupaiya !!

but there is another India that many of us have a passing acquitance with !Its an India of several hundred million people who barely make a few rupees a day !!

And what if the meagre they make has  the sign changed now ??

(Beg your pardon for the stupidity here ,intend to ignore the poverty- emotions,they  appear too repetitive to read on/hear of  !)

The Finance ministry has shortlisted five symbols for the rupee sign, all of them designed to mirror the country’s rich history and culture. All the five shortlisted designs are simple and uncomplicated, for both countrymen and global .

In the Union Budget 2010 speech, the finance minister Pranab Mukherjee announced that the Indian rupee will soon join a select league of global currencies by having a distinct symbol...

What now then .....the keyboards would have an additional sign next to $ ...The notes would be revived and there would be a new format for  price tags !!

However  it is to be brooded over ..whether mere symbols can ameliorate the scenario!!

However in the anticipation of the same ,I take your leave now :):)

 cya ,

love, 

astha :)
