Common Man of India


There is a MYTH on this "COMMON MAN" (AAM AADMI) always in India, and I write this to break it and make it clear who is common man

Common Man is the one who relies on every day work
He is the one who don’t care about savings for future, as he loves every day survival
He is the one who rides his cycle happily for his work and returns home with joy
He is the one who reaches on time to work even if using public transport and even in traffic
He is the one who travels in general class train tickets and public road transports
He is the one who doesn’t know the meaning of investment
He is the one who thinks GOLD is for rich people alone
He is the one who wants his kid to go for school and expecting to become IAS
He is the one who dreams about getting a government job for his kids
He is the one who pays LIC thinking he will get huge benefits
He is the one who doesn’t come under any TAX paying brackets
He is the one who enjoys lunch and dinner when it is available
He is the one who doesn’t know what are food retail and other retail chains
He is the one who knows how to live even there is no food for breakfast or lunch or dinner
He is the one who votes regularly expecting some waivers and free goodies from every new rule
He is the one who tells the truth that I vote for money
He is the one who knows how to waste 70% of his earning and still survive
He is the one who enjoys the functions and celebrations by hand loans
He is the one who don’t care about price hikes
He is the one who really understands Economy without his own knowledge
He is the one who loves to be called by his living place
He is the one who is happy with a 14 inch B&W TV
He is the one who is happy to watch a movie with 2 hours of advertisement without changing channel
He is the one who washes his personal cycle and carts every day
He is the one who uses mobile phone only in emergency
He is the one who is happy to sleep on the floor
He is the one who know the value of MONEY and FOOD
He is the one who clearly knows what NEED for living is
He is the one who lives in a simple rented or own house
He is the one who knows the difference between essential and luxury
He is the one who do not know what is FORM-16

The salaried class (other than tax exempted class) like a cat who wants to put stripes and show them self as tigers is not COMMON MAN
 So stop cribbing about COMMON MAN, because he is very happy enjoying his free India.
Still the preferred mode of local transportation in majority of India is a Roadster Bicycle
You lost your mind and made LUXURY as ESSENTIAL in your life and don’t blame others for your mistake

AS OF NOW COMMON MAN OF INDIA ARE THE ONES ON TAX EXEMPTED AND THE ONES BELOW MONTHLY SALARY excluding any kind of Business people

NOTE: Women earning less than 1.9 LPA and Men earning less than 1.8 LPA are considered under common man and expected to use public transport and the effective use of public transport passes and not PERSONAL TRANSPORT.

BE SENSIBLE AND LIVE LIFE WITHOUT CRIBBING 

Any more sensible suggestions, I am always ready to add or change it

AND I AM NOT A COMMON MAN but live more like a common man
