Yesterday I went to watch Ranjhana as it was the most sought out movie of the week. First I thought to write a review on the movie, but suddenly I thought there is something more Interesting to w rite then the review of Ranjhna. Actually me and my friend went to watch the movie in a south Delhi mall. The theatre was on fourth floor of mall.
. I went to the counter and asked for two tickets. Person at the counter told me to pay 2400 rs means 1200 rs for one ticket he said that this is a business class auditorium.
Now the point is not that whether I purchased the ticket or went somewhere else to watch the movie, but something spontaneously came in my mind. It was a report I read few days back that to live in a village poorest to poorest need Rs 17, or to live in a urban area need rs 24 and more, it is the basic money to survive. I don’t know what the basis of the report was and I am not an expert to comments on the reports.
The second point was that I was reading a book and it was a real life stories book. In the book, the author was collecting the reports of poor people, asked a poor waiver woman, who has three children and one of them was an Infant, who was looking pale, yellow and showing symptoms of Jaundice- what she gives to feed her infant child. The poor woman replied that the water of rice. The author says why you don’t give milk. She said that she does not have any money to buy the milk and there is no milk left in her breasts also.
Meanwhile these are some stories and if we carefully bothered to find there could me many similar stories. But that is something not my motive to write. My motive is to discuss the great debate on Globolisation.We have a huge market, versatile services, but are the common people able to buy them. Is Inflation real or market driven? How many are really able to buy a 1200 rs cinema ticket, I am sure there could be many, as India is full of riches, but how good it would be if that 1200 rs will be used to buy the little milk that child needed to combat starvation.
