    [JUSTIFY]Finally Anna Hazare got something to eat and drink. After almost a week of starvation. And the good news is that he got exactly what the Indians had demanded. We hear he has some more battles up his sleeve. Only I have a suggestion for him. It really is not necessary for him to put himself through so much of hardship at this age. Why risk his life and health for a bunch of greedy politicians? There are easier ways of doing that.

    Just two days ago there was a news item in the papers. "Astronomers discover planet made of diamonds" it read (TOI, 27th Aug 2011). Now it is just a matter of time. They already have enough money to pay the NASA for a chartered flight to take them all to the planet. According to the report it is about 5 times the diameter of the earth. So there is plenty place for them to set about land grabbing and mining. Besides there will be no laws to prevent them from indulging in their favourite activities. They can be followed by our business men and gold diggers. The latter can upgrade themselves by digging for diamonds.

    We on terra firma will be well rid of all these groups and can live happily ever after.[/JUSTIFY]

    Ha, ha, ha. Excellent idea Satchitananda. But, as an economist, I have to remind you that as soon as gold or diamond cease to be scarce, as could be the case in the TOI planet, they lose their monetary value. So, these greedy people you are about to send away to this planet of diamond will not be happy there. They will fill up their sacks with diamond and return back to Mother Earth!! It is only here that they can play their ugly games.

    But then, hopefully, humanity will see the light some day. As Gandhi had said: In the midst of Darkness, Light persists.

    Love.

    Ha ha ha, wonderful idea Sachi. I cannot really afford such a luxury myself(going to the moon) but would happily contribute some savings to kick start their travel :)

    Dear OJ-da, I have to admit that I am absolutely divorced from a economics and hence did not think in that direction. This is just wishful thinking based on the psychology of these people. And that psychology tells me that even that amount of diamond would be scarce for these greedy people, as they keep clamouring for more.

    Anyway, I have finally seen a light of hope. The next thing we need to concern ourselves with is that there should be more and more people who will have the ability and stature of Anna Hazare to lead this country in their fight for justice. That will be the only hope for us to get out of this rut.

    Ouch, let them stay happily with their diamonds there. There will be enough people competing for them, thus keeping its value intact. So they can make "Diamonds are forever" their anthem and lead the rest of their lived doing the two things they love most - accumulating wealth and fighting each other. :)

    Great Anisu. Nice idea. I am glad to know there will be many of us who are willing to shell out some money for a good cause. :)
