Today is April Fool’s Day, and from today we must pay more for eating out

#modigovernment #aprilfoolsday #platformticket #tigerreserve The Modi government had come to power with promises that acche din aane waley hai – or good days will come. But, we have now realized that we have been made fools because with effect from today, April Fool’s Day, we will have to shell out more for practically every item under the sun from fast foods to air travel to movie tickets.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 1 April 2015.

Eating out will also become costlier and the cost of a railway platform ticket will become double from Rs 5 to Rs 10 and rail freight rates of various commodities, including pulses and urea, will go up by up to 10 percent. Of course, this would have a cascading effect on prices but who cares. It has happened in the past under non-NDA government, so we have to grin and bear it.
Of course, there is a bright side – cost of entry tickets to museums, zoo and tiger reserves would become cheaper. The message – forget your worries by strolling in the corridors of museums or watch the animals lazing in the shades.
Neither the ancient artefacts in museums nor the animals in the zoo need to go to the movies or restaurants.
As to visiting tiger reserves, the states where these are located would benefit, they would earn more through entry fees and see more footfalls.
