Economies have hit the nadir but life must go on

Looking back, I feel that the economic slowturn started the day justice krishna announced the 6th pay commission. The whole world, in particular the Indian aamlog, watched the tamasha unfold. It took 7 whole months for the money to come in payment that too in piecemeal. But, the real economists including chidu and co had already scented the blood. Markets (stock, reatly, retail, why even the neighborhood greengrocer also) started the one way trip to Paatala lokas. Prices meanwhile had hit an all time high for daily items. Even, while blogging this, I hear the soppu seller asking the behenji not to bargain because sarkari babus are getting itna ITNA! 
One funny thing amidst all this is, the attrition rate in the govt sector is one of the lowest! Does it get to your nerves?
A careful reflection shows that even after the much hyped 6cpc, pay scales continue to be one of the lowest in industry. But the work environ is can u believe it, ultimate only next to art of living???
