Inflation and me

It is a routine Monday morning. I started driving to work at 845 am in the morning and realized that car's fuel tank is showing a big red "E"...time to fill the petrol again. I just remembered the old golden days when a full car tank used to cost me a little more than 1000 Rs...things are different now. Someone has moved my petrol now and can't even say who moved my petrol.

I pulled the car in the nearest filling station. Thinking that I will away from town for next one month and that I have to drive the car for next two days only I asked for a 1000 Rs fill... And look what I got was a mere little more than 13 liters of petrol.

I had very clear memories of filling the full tank in just 1200 Rs at 35 Rs/liter just a few year back...and rate of petrol has just doubled in 5-6 years. Have I started earning double of what I was earning 5 years back...a clear NO.

Inflation... Save me from this....I remember a famous song from a Bollywood movie here: sakhi sayyan toh khubai hi kammaaat hai..mahangani dayan...
