That's quite a list Swetha!!
I remember a few year's back we used to get a guava for hardly Rs. 1 or maximum Rs. 2. Now a single guavwa will cost anything between Rs. 6 to 10.
Bananas that used to 10 a dozen now cost 30 to 40 for a dozen.
My most favorite wada-pav used to be available for Rs. 2 only now costs rs. 8 or 10!
:( :( :(
Sugar used to be 10-13 Rs per kg now is 34 Rs/kg :(

Price rise is definitely hitting more the vulnerable sections like unorganized workers. There are many who got only lump sum amount on retirement and no pension. Their interest income is even less. The Businessmen and self employed are well off. The Govt. employees/ govt pensioners are relatively better off.

Thankyou all,
:D :D
You have to remember that I did not make any analysis,it happend to me as I would do them on day to day basics like bringing home the milk,groceries,etc. I really love pani puris and it is saddening to see that the price has increased :(
One thing I can say is that one of the commodities of which price has not increased is Maggi Noodles.It used to cost Rs 10 when I was in 5th standard(1996) and it cost Rs 10 even now (2010).The only variation in Maggi is the Net weight.It has reduced by 10 gms since then.(I know no one must have noticed this)
Another astonishing increase in price is the Auto rickshaw metre rate.Once it used to be Rs 6 minimum till 5 kilometers.Now it is minimum of Rs 12 up to 12.5 Kilometer and increases thereafter. As if it was not enough,on Oct 12th The rickshaw union is going on a strike to demand the hike of minimum rate from Rs 12 to Rs 20.
No respite to common man/women even on the basics of price!!

Share your views on Petrol friends... ;)
In 1999, while going to college, my father used to give me Rs.100 a week for petrol. I used to get two and half liters easily for my moped. Then the rate is around Rs.32-34..
But now I think the petrol rate is around Rs.56 in AndhraPradesh..... :(
