Demonitisation is a bitch
I want my frivolous fake delhi back !!!
I'm extremely irritated about this whole demonetisation scheme , not because I'm worried of loosing my millions stored in black in stashes in the attic ( like half of delhi ) , but more so because all the cool overpriced loved cafes and luxury malls filled with Indo trash people and hoity toity aunties carrying Chanels , have all suddenly become desertedly empty and , all these fake women and wannabe socialites have totally vanished and it's like the whole atmosphere has become so un-delhi !
Clearly everyone is running from pillar to post trying to deposit those ancient 1000s , suddenly pay off previous debts which they've remembered just at this moment thinking it would be good karma to give back rotting useless currency !! lol ! And every snooty bitch in town has been reduced to a mere slave of the silver Amex card , also proving to them for the first time ever ,that there exists something more plastic than their personalities ,and here's the twist , that's more useful tooo !!
Husbands are screaming at their wives for "not spending " a super secret lump of cash !
Parents are filling their kids bank accounts and the kids are laughing their way to the banks with dreams of clearing out Hamleys soon ...
A lot of the house help is so excited and ecstatic to see the rich in misery !!!(Ps : Bitch who pays for your existence in this city ? )
The chaffeurs are laughing each time their madam Ji gives them 3000 rupee to get a tank full in the 3rd car again ! (Ps : if madam ji starts driving by herself you will not be laughing then !! Get rid of that smirk, be loyal and wish well )
The factory workers are more than enthusiastic to queue in the banks to get the currency exchanged for their bosses and hence waste time and do no work and ofcourse verbally take pride in the fact that they're more helpful ! Gossip is their favourite pastime currently and they're betting about on the value of their bosses' secret stash !!!
Bank managers are like "czars" right now and anyone on their bad side , need be ,financially beheaded !
What a not so royal mess all this is !!! This is a sheer wastage of time and funds , medium to big businesses will be shut , the poor will get poorer , and the country is taking a step back towards poverty and low standards of existence and an extremely medieval times lifestyle too !! (India : next world power ? Confident earlier , Not sure now )
My only fear is that after years of struggle and hard work and almost a dozen miracles later , Delhites were atleast trying to level up their game .. And with their Goyard totes and Benz convertibles , they were atleast drawing some similarities with the lifestyle and fashion of the International modern society!! Wasn't that a face saver when we have tourists here ? Wasn't that good for the society where the rich flourish and yet the poor grow too along.. ( may be slowly but atleast they are not in a crisis like now )
All our past hardwork is in vain !!! The other day at the mall felt like it was 2003 ... Few people scattered around who've probably come for a walk or window shopping , there were almost zero sales , and I honestly had an extremely negative feeling that if this usually bustling mall that makes sales for a few crores every week is in this sad state , I only wonder about the rest of the economy ....
The real dilemma here is that are we going back to once again be known as just a land of snake charmers and folk dancers ?!?!? ( And ofcourse amazing chai ! )
