lelo aapka pachees aana..


Take a close “LAST” look at these coins because they are going to get extinct pretty soon. Why? Well we all are to blame for this.
Just the other day I stopped by a shop to pick up some stationary. As I was giving him some change (while equally thinking how obliged the shop keeper will be) I was in for a rude shock.As soon as the shopkeeper saw the twenty-five paise coins roll out of my wallet, he shouted,”yeh coin nahi chalega bhaisaab,ab kaun leta hai in coins ko? Doosra coin dijiye”
I tried telling him that these coins are valid and used in India, but to no avail. He was in no mood to listen.”Bus mein try karo,conducter shaayad leve” was his unwanted advise.
Is the government listening??
A few months back the Times of India carried an article of how Bangladeshi immigrants are skillfully diverting Indian coins to their country to not only destabilize the economy so that the RBI works extra time unnecessarily to mint more coins but also that they can use them to melt and use for manufacturing of metal products free of cost!!!
Well if the Indian people are going to act in this manner, they are only helping the Bangladeshis out.The coins are still officially valid in India.Who are we to ban them then??
Kya hoga is desh ka?
