While reading this wonderful editorial by Ila Patnaik,
Who stops banks from serving the aam aadmi? More than unions, it’s control-obsessed RBI. And banks love it
A few more questions popped into my head.
1. Why do banks advertise higher interest rates for Senior Citizens and NRI?
Shouldn’t the terms on a Fixed deposit be uniform? Or the government knows that at old age there is a memory loss and a large percentage of the funds collected under old age scheme shall never be refunded.

I want to live my next life backwards.
You start out dead and get that out of the way.
Then you wake up in an old age home feeling better & better every day.
You finally get kicked out for being too healthy;
go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day!
You work 40 years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, and you’re generally promiscuous as you get ready for high school.
You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, and then….
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions; central heating, room service on tap, larger quarters every day, and THEN…. You finish off as an orgasm.
Isn’t it amazing that the crudest home-made micro-light aircrafts can enter the airspace undetected, attack the airbase and return unchallenged. What further amazes me that this was Sri-Lanka’s main airbase, which housed state of the art Israeli built Kfirs and Ukrainian MIG 27s and the raiders made no attempts to mask themselves are a friendly vehicle.
Why were the anti-aircraft gun unable to shoot them down?
How is it possible?
For those who do not know, India is a military adviser for the Sri-Lankan Air force. And only a few months ago, we supplied this airport with latest Indian made Radar Systems (Indra-II). Since they were worth junk… India installed them for free and no doubt the failed miserably and caused such a great international embarrassment.
My question is:
Why does India even bother spending billions of dollars in developing these antique pieces of junk? And worse still gift them (yes, most of our armament exports are as gifts to 3rd world countries who cannot pay rather than a real purchase) to countries where it fails and creates an international embarrassment.
Society has become so complicated these days that its best not to ask any personal questions. Why?
1. How many kids to you have?
Last weekend, I met this interesting British fellow. He said: “From my first marriage, I have 2 kids (one of which did not survive). My second wife has 2 kids. 1 from a previous marriage and another which I have fathered.”
After this, in a friendly way, he threw back the question to me: “Now you tell me what should I answer? Whenever someone asks this question, I am perplexed should I answer him the number of kids I have fathered, or the number of kids I provide for, or the number of surviving kids?”
2. Where do you belong to?
My forefathers come from a region which I have never visited. My grandparents build their house in a second state, where I have lived only for a year. My father build one in a third city, where I have never spend more than 10 days. My education was done in 9 different schools across 5 different states and the longest period I have stayed in one place was during my Under graduation. So to which part of the country do I belong to?
Is there a simple question in your life to which you have no answers?
