Catch 22 Situations! Catch If You Can!!!

1)When a mobile phone company dupes people by selling sub standard handsets with poor quality batteries,at hefty prices nobody is bothered!


2)When antivirus companies sell products which never effectively prevent damages, for premium prices, noone is worried!


3)When doctors cure patients "for the time being" and make the patient come back again and again for the same ailment he or she went for the treatment in the first place, nobody is held responsible!


4)When the auto man charges you double for the only mistake you did that you called him and argues and shouts at you even after getting double than what is due, no living thing is upset!


5)When the courier man returns a parcel saying a particular person "can not be found", after calling the concrned person over the phone and telling him that he would be coming to his house in an hour's time, no question is asked!


6)When a regular postman fails to deliver letters and parcels and keeps all those things with him in the office, only because he has a VERY BIG Ego to satisfy, he pretty well gets his monthly salary and no one is troubled!


7)When chain stores sell cheap & sub standard products, labelling them as "50 or 75% discounted" and squeez the customers by charging "Only" 50 or 75% of a heavily & stealthly over priced products, no one is disturbed or enraged!


8)When a vehicle which is "projected to" provide excellent kilometers fail miserably to reach somewhere near the projected kilometer mark, no question is asked or no complaint lounged!


9)When thousands come out of educational institutions, which are the founding stones of any country, inefficient, sub standard, qualitatively dumb, intelligently poor, subject wise or educationally nowhere, personally stunted and completly misfit for the society, no one is agitated!


10)When politicians stupidly try to lead from behind and spoil billions of tax payers money by stupidly dealing with any situation given, no politician is held responsible and no one is complaining!


11)When media "market" only those products and ideas and companies which pay them heavily and when the buyer or consumer or customer is taken for a ride most of the times, no human being is complaining!


12)When duplicate/grey market grows phenomenonlly just under the nose of those who are there and paid to curb these sort of activities, no thinking animal is taken aback!


13)When prices are hiked in the name of farmers' benifits and all and they never get anything out of the price hike, no one is raising questions in the respective forums, which are "constituted just to raise questions"!


14)When even an average earner is taxed through his/her nose, barely giving him/her a chance to have asset in his/her life time, no financial pundit is writting volumes about this and no one is burning effigies!


15)When "institutionalised exploitation" has become/is the order of the day and even those up there, who are there only for preventing these sort of cruelty from happening, walk hand in hand with the perpetrators, no 'super thinker' is protesting!

16)When Indian Credit Card Users shell out around 40% interest on the amount spent on their credit card when in the developed world people give away only around 20%, no financial expert is tensed or troubled!


17)When banks arbitrarily raise the interest rates even on the loans taken years ago on fixed terms, citing some technical reasons, burning BIG HOLES on people's pockets, no finance minister appeares to save them from the bolt from the skies;and it is to be remembered that no one comes proclaiming reduction in fixed interest rates when the interest rates go below the interest rates at which the loan is taken! And there are no protests!


18)When pestisides are found in the 'much popularised' multinational soft drinks and children go all out for them due to the super stars' suggesting and recommending them in no uncertain terms and languages all over the media, no social worker loses sleep over it!


19)When "the killer industry of tobacco" burns millions of lives into ashes, trumpeting the taxes the coffers get from it, no one is there to say 'No' to such foolish propaganda, and ofcourse not a single human right activist is worried to the point of going on even a single day hunger strike!


20)When vehicle owners are forced to pay heavy road taxes only to get themselves hurt travelling on the pot holed, unsymetrical, poor quality, vehicle damaging bad roads, no one is raising a storm over it!


21)When insurance companies conjure up new tricks and traps as a group to queez the customer and make him pay the maximum and give him the least, stating everything in undecipherable way and language, no thinking eye brows are raised and no complaint is registered!


22)When in a country, where safe guards for its citizens are not in place and the loopholes in the system are more than the holes fixed, where anti monopolistic, anti competitive, anti ethical legal structures are not in place to prevent the exploitation of people/customers in an effective manner/way, people are exposed to the system of the developed countries where all these protective systems are in place, no great lover of humanity or statesman of integrity is disturbed or mentally agitated to call a spade a spade!
