** Oil Scarcity **

Petrol and Diesel getting rationed was not expected so soon, atleast I did not expect this to happen so soon. Long queues and the 'no stock' boards have been a common feature in the past one or two days in petrol bunks across Chennai and many other cities in India. I fear that this may become an order of the day. One more place where we have to stand in endless queue; one more chaos added to our already chaotic life. On one side, this huge population is what that inspired our economic growth and on the other side, as a common man in this hugely populated country, I have to be in long queues for everything - right from birth to death !! Hospitals, banks, courts, hotels - the long list is endless. Queue, Queue - everywhere !!
