Also the credit goes to media. This price hike has happened in one or two places only, but media is presenting this as these rates of tomato ( around 100) is in all places of India. May the shopkeepers in my town will start increasing the rate after going through these type of news.
No, I don't think media is doing that , but prices of tomatoes have really gone up. I bought tomatoes yesterday at the rate of 80 rupees per kilo! I think it depends more on the city or town, the larger the city is, the more the prices of veggies, it is my personal observation. Last week, I was visiting Kolhapur, a city smaller than Pune and all kinds of veggies and food stuff were much cheaper than in Pune.
Then why is media showing the news repeatedly only from those places where the rate has increased at double speed. Why not they are showing that still in small towns and villages these rates are around 30 -40 and why not these media channels showing those farmers who are tend to sell vegetables at cheaper rates. In my area farmers are selling tomatoes and onions at 5 -10 rupees per k.g. But they selling it in bulk. And also the reason that farmers have not proper cold storage to keep these vegetables for more days.
Well, media is not really known for any responsible behavior are they? And as far as farmers are concerned, it is a sad case of the able ones taking advantage of the ones with less or no means. Most farmers depend on middlemen and bulk traders since they are the ones with access to cold storage and also other facilities such as transport, market space etc. so they depend on them for all these and the result is that we as customers have to shell out much more money than what the farmers get.

Agree with you that success is not or cannot be the only measure of happiness in life. It also depends on how and in what manner the term 'success' is used. Most people related success with the amount of money they earn and the wealth they accumulate, the car they drive and so on. For others, it might be the kind of work they get to do, the quality of life etc.

I think India is only country in world where peoples of different facial structure, complexion are living. Bengali is know for their dark complexion. Desh Ek Bangala, Hoth Lal Muhn Kala.
Not really, i have done Bengali friends here on work who are quite fair . In fact in India we find complexion ranging from very dark to very fair and all shades in between. Here in Mangalore most people have wheat complexion and you find very few dark people but in some other parts you find more dark complexioned people and so on..
Exactly....people from all the states have a wide range of complexion ranging from dark to fair, varying only in degrees from each other. Many Brahmins from Konkan, Maharashtra or the Chitpavans even have blue-grey to green eyes. There are dark looking people all over India, not just W. Bengal.

It is the same case everywhere, the inflated prices of vegetables and fruits are mostly due to middlemen and very low amount of money really makes it way to the farmers who have taken tremendous efforts to grow them.

i think this site has the best facility and i think there is no such necessity which we should change
True...we don't really need to change rules but need to change the way we deal with those who break rules and ignore advise/warnings!

From last two days I am listening on National news channels that prices of tomato in major cities like Delhi has gone near about 100 per k.g. But when I go to my own local market to purchase tomato, shopkeepers are selling tomato at the rate 20 - 30 rupees per k.g. What had made this huge difference? Still the farmers are selling tomato and onion at very low prices, at about 5 - 10 rupees per kg.

Success is something everybody is after and each individual has his/her own definition of success. Does success give us happiness or is our happiness linked to success/ The more you think the more you realise that happiness is a state of mind..What does success mean to you ?

People in North India like to take tea in morning and day time, but I have not seen any such situation that tea or coffee is causing cancer. In my own area majority of people drink tea, only a few are there who don't like tea.
Drinking Tea or coffee is not harmful. It's only when these beverages ar taken above 60 degrees Celsius.
