Know why you should not Support the Bharat Bandh

Since the day Government has hiked petrol prices all the people have started criticizing about inflation and how it will affect their monthly budgets. But I would say that by not allowing the government to hike petrol prices everyone is only inviting inflation and stagnation in the country. Let me explain.

80% of your Petro- Products are imported. and with the increase in the dollar it is becoming more and more expensive to buy petrol in the international market there by creating huge difference in the balance of payment. Government of India pays subsidies to the oil company to keep selling Petrol at a price lower than its cost. In turn, it increases the pressure on the financial budget. This results in more spending on subsidies which could otherwise would have been used for more developmental projects. Also, the government have to borrow more money and in turn fiscal deficit rises causing more inflation and decrease in the productive activities. Let us understand in detail some of the factors

Government Budget:

Oil prices greatly affects the Financial Budget of India. Since we import 4/5th amount of Petro- Products from the international market. International Oil prices as well as exchange rate makes a huge difference. If both the factors go up i.e. if oil prices go up and dollar becomes more expensive, we have to more for the same amount of Import. When we pay more it creates a imbalance with the Exports. The difference between Import and Export is called Balance of Payment. India has a negative balance of payment which means our imports are more than the exports which means the rupee is going out of the country which makes dollar more expensive. Since the government compensates the oil companies for the losses suffered by them a huge chuck of Money is utilized which otherwise could have been used for some other developmental activities. These subsidies means the spending on development projects and welfare schemes of the governments will come down.
The current fiscal deficit in 5.9% of the GDP which is substantially high which comes to Rs. 5.21Trillion. This means the government is borrowing Rs. 5.21 trillion to make all the payments.


How government Borrowings affect Private Sector?
If the government borrows such high amount from the market then it will leave very less money for the Private sector to borrow. Which will result in less productive activities in the countries. Which means less income for the common man and so less Purchasing power. Also less productive activities means more inflation and start of stagnation in the economy.

Foreign Direct Investments

How many of you remember the opposition the government faced when 51% FDI was approved for Mutli-Brand Retail? I believe all of us know. Public never realised that they have dug their own grave by opposing it. If FDI would have been allowed then it would have brought a very large amount of Foreign Capital in the market. Which would have benefited the common man substantially. It would have brought down the prices of goods plus it would have balanced the fall of rupee. But because of all the opposition it could not come. All this crises have made the already existing investors to take away their money from our country. There by make Rupee weaker and weaker.

Let the Government hike the prices. It will reduce the burden of subsidies. This in turn will also make rupee stronger there by reducing the balance of payment. This is will also send a signal the foreigners that the Government is not facing policy paralysis and they will start investing again once the rupee strengthens. Also by reducing government borrowings we will leave more money for the private sector, which will bring more development and higher standard of living for us. And with the strengthening of rupee the Petrol prices will come down too.

Everyone is thinking of how everything will affect them for the next one month but by doing so they are creating more problems for future. They ahead of the time. It will bring our country forward and solve our own problems.

Support the Government to bring a Change.

Be Aware.
Be a Proud and Informed India.

Don't follow these stupid opposition parties who just misguides the public.

12 Coolest Facts About Dreams

Dreams have always intrigued us since time immemorial. It is also said there were specific dream interpreters in the courts of kings in early civilizations. However, in the 1800s the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud and subsequently, his successor Carl Jung, revolutionized the world of dreams. Since then a lot has been studied in this field but dreams astound us with varied meanings and interpretations every time we witness them.

Some of the most interesting facts about dreams in the trailing paragraphs are sure to take one by surprise.

1) While dreaming we become temporarily paralyzed

 Not many of us are aware that we become temporarily paralyzed in the dream state. This can be attributed to the fact that sometimes we may be so moved with certain dramatic dreams as to fall and hurt ourselves, thus, as a natural response the body goes into a temporary inactive state physically. 

2) We can control our dreams

 In what is known as a "Lucid dreaming" phase one can control their dreams. Thus, one can also manipulate their dreams and even the outcomes! Another interesting fact is that one dreams things one has witnessed some time before in their life. 

3) Dreams can cause incorporation

How often have we dreamed we were hungry or thirsty or performing an act repeatedly in our sleep until we wake up and undertake the activity? Sometimes one could dream of drinking glasses of water only to wake up and be very thirsty!

4) Dreams speak in indirect language

 Dreams never utilize symbols they actually stand for. A lot of research has already gone into the subject and books have been written on dream symbols and their interpretations. Dreams carry deep meanings that only the subconscious mind can understand. 

5) Dreams are very difficult to remember

 Often when we wake up we fail to remember even a single sequence of the dream we had during the night. A strange fact remains therefore, that dreams are almost always forgotten, except if a person is woken up at the REM stage. 

6) We tend to dream of forbidden things

 Another startling fact about dreams is the frequent instance of dreaming things one is forbidden to do. A person who is forbidden to eat chocolates may dream of gorging greedily on them. Even medical conditions and psychological disorders may have a direct effect on dreams!

7) Some people only dream in black and white

 Some people dream only in black and white while about 70% of people dream in colors. Certain dreams are very common to some people such as, failing an exam, getting up late for the exam, dreams related to one's school, seeing a person dead who is alive in real life, being chased by someone etc. Studies are being conducted in the relevance of colors and repeated sequences in dreams. 

8) Disturbed sleep may lead to psychosis

Sleeping and dreaming which occur in the REM stage are very important for healthy living. In a research conducted involving students who were woken up at the start of their REM stage, it was noted the students became irritable, hallucinated a lot, were affected by psychosis and were finally disinterested in everything they did. Thus a good night's sleep combined with regular dreaming is our body's way of staying fit too!

9)Visually impaired people dream too

Very interestingly, people who are born blind only witness dreams involving smell, sound or touch, while people who go blind after birth are seen to witness regular dreams just like their counterparts with vision. 

10) And so do animals

 Studies have revealed animals and more specifically mammals dream exactly the way humans do! So even your household pet may be dreaming all night without your knowing about it. 

11) Children have more nightmares than adults

It is widely studied that children have more nightmares than adults. 

12) Some great inventions were first conceived during sleep

 Although we tend to forget about 90% of our dreams once we wake up, many great scientists have made discoveries in their dreams and written them down the moment they woke up. Newton, Graham Bell and even some poets have received their inspirations from dreams.
