Stupid
by Shadab Samad on Apr 05, 2008 10:37 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Stupidity has many forms.. this article is one such thing.. Evian!!! really!!! is that the first brand of water any one thinks of when it comes to mineral water? Coffee at a 5 star?? well coffee cost 2 rupees to make at home.. however petrol is something that cant be fabricated. now can it .. well and to break the myth that this happens only in India!!! doubt it.. lets get some realistic figures from lets say UK where inflation is at a check
Petrol per Ltr .90p = Rs 72
Cola 500 ml. .60P = Rs 48
Water (not evian) per 500ml. 0.65p = Rs 52
and Ink (printer) pound 19.59 = Rs 1567
Lets call a spade a spade... loved the reply about the gold bit...
