Relationship between man, woman and donkey
Prasad dada is one of my friend and a social activist and a member of India 2020 Dr Abdul Kalam's team.
He sent me the following equations- I am reproducing the same. I enjoyed it a lot.
Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore:
Human = Donkey + Work + enjoy
Therefore:
Human-enjoy = Donkey + Work
In other words,
A Human that doesn't know how to enjoy = Donkey that works.
++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ ++ ++
Equation 2
Man = eat + sleep + earn money
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore:
Man = Donkey + earn money
Therefore:
Man-earn money = Donkey
In other words
Man who doesn't earn money = Donkey
++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +
Equation 3
Woman= eat + sleep + spend
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore:
Woman = Donkey + spend
Woman - spend = Donkey
In other words,
Woman who doesn't spend = Donkey
++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +
To Conclude:
From Equation 2 and Equation 3
Man who doesn't earn money = Woman who doesn't spend
So Man earns money not to let woman become a donkey!
And a woman spends not to let the man become a donkey!
So, We have:
Man + Woman = Donkey + earn money + Donkey + Spend money
Therefore from postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude
Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!
I know of at least one person who will enjoy this.

MRP in mutiplexes and malls
FYI
The products in restaurants, multiplexes and malls which are charged at a higher rate compared to the rate charged in normal shops are legal. However, it should be mentioned on the packet that the goods are to be sold through select outlet only. If this is not mentioned on the good then we are not suppose to pay a higher price.
Such products are separately packed and a separate MRP is printed on such products.
Please next time check whether the tag "to be sold through select places only" is mentioned on the product.

Excess price charged
Consumer is supposed to be the king of the market. However, the consumer chooses not to be. Yesterday I had gone to purchase 1litre milk. I inquired in 6 diaries in Dombivli and all of them charge 1Re per litre extra over and above MRP. This is a kind of a rule applied by the shopkeepers on any branded milk. As far as my knowledge goes this practice is followed in most parts of Mumbai.This happens even in Bengaluru(as per the input received from a friend staying there)
The point is everybody thinks its only 1Re whats the big deal. I am putting forth a point I hope it makes sense. Correct me if I am wrong. Now in Mumbai itself 50 lakhs litre packed milk may be sold per day. So illegal(against the Consumer Protection Act,1986) money of at least 50lakhs is generated EVERYDAY. I presume that such charges will not be accounted by the shops and hence no taxes are paid on such amount. So on an annual basis nearly 150crores of revenue goes tax free. Which effectively means a loss of 50crores of tax to the government. Now this is some amount.
Who is responsible for the black money?YOU and ME(the king of the market). The so called educated class is responsible and we blame the government. I call the so called educated class as literate class.
Remember we pay the amount and it becomes a norm and for us annual amount of 300+ Rs may not be that important but for someone this amount makes a difference.
We all pay our taxes regularly but somewhere our 1Re is responsible for black money getting generated in the market. Who has to take the responsibility for this? The shopkeepers are much united compared to the consumers.
The reason given by the shopkeeper is that the commission which they receive is not affordable and hence they charge the extra 1Re. Its a matter to be dealt by the agent and the company how is the consumer involved. The shopkeepers know it is difficult to get the extra commission from the company and consumer will not bother about the extra Re.
FYI The extra Re collected is more than the commission which they receive per litre.
