Inflation in Zimbabwe

As of 26 September 2008, inflation in Zimbabwe was 531 000 000 000 per cent. Make sure you get those zeros right.
This means 42 Indian Rupees is nearly equal to 50 million Zimbabwean dollars. And you were worried about the 12 per cent inflation rate of our country. Bah! If you decide to go to Zimbabwe, with just 42 Rupees, you become a millionaire!! Congratulations on that.

Zimbabweans are now purchasing a sandwich for Zimbabwean $50 million.
One kg of potatoes cost Zimbabwean $17 million.
At a supermarket near the capital, toilet paper costs $417.
Compare yourself with a Zimbabwean and feel lucky!

What do you think?

Yesterday I was standing near my front gate, watching the kids play cricket, when a boy came near my house and urinated. Thinking the boy would be embarrassed and would never do it again, I asked, ”why did you urinate here? Couldn’t you go home and do it?” The boy simply answered “it was urgent” and walked off without any trace of embarrassment and giving me a look which plainly said ”how weird? Why would I urinate otherwise? Why ask such a silly question?” Men including ‘highly educated’ and ‘rich class people’ think urinating in public places is their birthright. Since they have the glorious 'permit' to urinate anywhere they want to, all places, become a toilet.
Perhaps urination should be banned in public places along with smoking?


Why do we celebrate the victory of Rama by bursting crackers and making noise (that too noise >120Db)? Have our ancestors told us to appease Gods by ear deafening sounds and smoke that choke the air? Or have they told us to pour hundred and one litres of milk on statues just because India has many cows? Nowadays the idea behind the celebration of festivals is lost and everything is superficial.
