Hi Alka,
First time here and i very much agree with ur points here.
Even there only a handful of ppl who worry about this inflation i guess.
As one person here said,there r more educated illiterates here.they r happy as long as they get their salaries and eat meals.If Govt. says no to imported foods,one section will go hyper and if they stop exporting,another will get abused.And regarding demand and supply,even in many villages farming is not taken seriously,esp in my state.I can see all of them sold out as residential plots.Govt. should take census of the agricultural farms exclusively and take necessary steps to provide solutions to farmer’s woes.And i totally agree with kitchen gardens,atleast the necessary ones and easily grown ones,we should not rely on these retailers.

Good post. I must say you are very thoughtful. I like the No.4 point and totally agree with you on this. We stay in gurgaon and 70% of people here have lot opf money because of which they don’t think once before spending and sellers charge money as per their wish.

I forgot to add that I’v already boycotted the imported fruits that we get in the malls. I’d rather eat Pune papaya than Washington apples. Huh.

The article is put up really well and I share the same thoughts as you. I dont go buying veggies myself but my maid does it. In a family of two we spend around 100 bucks every week only for vegetables. All other groceries cost around 5K per month. That is too much for a family of two.
I agree with Basantlal unlce that IT people are kind of OK to pay such prices as they get fat pay packets. I am from IT (but not with a fat pay packet 🙁 ). Our problem is that we want things readymade as we dont have time to cook food ourselves. We are so busy slogging in our cubicles that we really dont bother or dont have the time to look at important things like price hikes.
However, the problem of price rise has really crossed its limit. Though we all know that the politicians and the middle men are to be blamed for it (Coz it is these people who hoard food in dock yards to inflate prices) we cant really do much about it. We might just remove one bunch of corrupt people to bring in new ones at their places.
I agree with Deepak that its time we, the mango people, did something about it. We definitely can grow small time seasonal vegetables in our terrace or backyard gardens. Even small pods of garlic and corainder in tubs/pots is a good start. We really dont need to decorate out homes with plants. We’d rather be growing our own food in them.
Well, I am in for this. I’m gonna grow my own veggies as much as I can. N if everyone of us does the same, its definitely gonna make some sort of a difference. We need to be together and make it bigger. Come on guyz lets do it. People power is the biggest power.
