The world at large is grappling with recession and the common man is left struggling to make ends meet, fearful of whether they will have a job tomorrow and be able to put food on the table!!
At a time when everyone is on a cost cutting spree - be it personal expenditure (clothes, make up, recreation etc) or food (eating out, buying just the right quantity of fruits and veggies etc), budgets are being drawn up left right and centre!
The sad thing is...this doesn't seem to faze our erstwhile leaders the slightest bit. For the recently celebrated pongal festival - the leader of our state spent thousands of rupees decorating his front gate, for whom I'm not too sure, considering the area is a high-security zone!!!
What you see below are actual apples, oranges, mosambis(the 3 ball hanging thingy), all the green stuff is pineapple, sugar cane and cucmbers and other green veggies...CRAZY!!!
This fruit veggie salad was left hanging outside his house for abt 3 days...rotting for no one's benefit...Had he had the good sense to serve all this to some deserving people, im pretty confident it would have comfortably been enough for around 10 - 15 families!!!
