Fight to make India White ...

My right neighbor is a BJP supporter and the left one is a BJP hater. Today they are going to drop in for a Cuppa and some political gup-shup. I reach home a little early and soon both of my neighbors troop in.

RN: Modi ne sabh ko hilla ke rakh diya!!
LN: Abh dekhna Public BJP ko kaise hillaye gi!!
RN: I was standing in the line outside the Bank and most of those I interacted with accepted that there was some inconvenience …but they were all happy that Modi took this decision!!!
LN: I know you …you will interact with only BJP supporters…. you have a nose for smelling them out!!
RN: Yaar I'm interacting with you now...am I not … abh bhi my nose is on the job. .isn't it!!
Me: I was walking Napoleon in the Park today and all I could hear was praise for this step from those in the Park!!!
LN: Modi's hype and jummlas will all wear out soon!!!
RN: What Jummlas…. he said he'd attack Black Money and just see the planned manner in which he's done it….. the SIT…. renegotiation of Tax Treaties…The Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015 Foreign Black Money….IDS 2016….Penalty on Real Estate Transactions undertaken in Cash exceeding Rs.20,000/-($297)….. Tax Collection at Source on Cash Sales exceeding Rs.2,00,000/- ($2970)…..Modi's warning to Tax Evaders in an Interview…. Demonetization…..
LN: And with every step he's lost Votes…. Public misses the good old days of UPA…. when there were no shocks!!
RN: I think India should be indebted that it got a Gutsy Leader like Modi ….. who has placed the Country first!!!! Had he been in the mold of Congress he'd have not taken any tough decisions ...
Me: And then don't forget his slogan… na khaaoo ga na khaane doonga ….now via his actions its…. na chori karta hoo na karne doonga!!!
LN: But the timing is atrocious …. it is the festival and marriage season……
M: Well if you see the progression of the anti Black Money game plan …. he gave every opportunity to Indians to go White….. with a game plan in place he had to go step by step…. and now very soon with two State elections coming up the Code of Conduct would come into effect and then the next step which is demonitization could not have been taken!!
LN: Property Prices will crash!!!!
Me: The Jury is still out on this…. the 70:30 formula prevalent in Real Estate will take time to cure…. actually there has already been some curing ….Flats that White Collar lot buy now are usually 100% by Cheque Payment …. these purchases are usually financed!!!!
LN: They say Modi aims to make India a Plastic Economy …. this is going to lead to huge overspending by Indians …. Cards are swiped because the heart holds sway…. not the brain!!
RN: We are not like 'the Goras'…. we plan for tomorrow …. we save……. Indians basically are not a pay-cheque away from Bankruptcy like Goras are ….. our habit to save holds our heads above water even when we face a temporary hic-up in our Salaries!!!
RN: But how would this Government get Indians to start using Debit Cards ...
Me: All they have to do is make it mandatory for Mobile Companies to accept payments only via Cards ....no cash....would be good for Security too! !
LN: By the way have you noted how Americans are reacting to Trump's election!!!
Me: I think Americans were following what transpired post Modi's election…. I'm sure soon there will be an Award Wapsi by Oscar Winners!!!
RN: And there too you have a totally biased Media…. the Media there had declared Hillary the winner before the election!!!
Me: Why we had one of our Journos do the same …..
LN: Coming back to Black Money…..now what will be Modi's next shock!!!!
Me: Could be to make NPA…. Non Performing Assets start performing in the Economy…. no…no …. he will not declare war on your lockers….. but he'll think of some way to make Indians stop their craze for storing Gold!!!!
LN: (calling his wife on the phone) Janoo …. tomorrow we are going to empty out our Lockers!!!! And remind me we need to get a Big Safe … round the clock Security of the House….. Guard Dogs…..
Me: I think … all we need to get is a new mindset!!!!

" Donald Trump's victory - Implications on India"
Let me come straight to the point. Donald Trump is an anti-outsourcing person. This could jeopardise the fate BPOs in India. A hard core businessman, a top realtor, figuring in world's super-rich category, he has invested in building two business centres , one each in Mumbai and Pune. He could infuse foreign capital for infrastructure development and create jobs in India.
In international relations, India may have high expectations from Donald.
There is a distinct possibility of emergence of a new regional Axis consisting of the US, Russia and India to counter China's influence and its terror ally Pakistan. India should facilitate the formation of such an alliance. The US under Trump would surely review its Pakistan policy as part of his commitment to fight terror.
