My Drops!

Few days back when the dollar rate was sky-rocketing, few interesting things happened which drew my attention as an economics student. We went to the local vegetable market there at New Baneshwar, of course to buy some fresh vegetables. The price of cauliflower had shown an increment of around 40 percent overnight and very interesting was the reason for that- look at the dollar rates that have gone up. Around those days only, we faced a similar story on the verge of buying cashew nut from a departmental store. These incidents kept me stunned till date but I believe there are few things within that the general public in our country should know.

There are political boundaries on earth made by people where several governments run in their own styles and usually think themselves above the natural government. It is up to you to decide if any government on earth is seriously above the natural government. But coming back to the governments run on the earth, I felt it interesting to discuss the election campaigns - birth processes for the governments, in terms of Investment, Knowledge and Politics.
