The drooped flower had blossomed again - and I had gone and kissed her goodbye and asked her a favor.
'My letter which was signed by the dean is with Khurshid didi who is apparently out and I need to get a photocopy of it and give it to the mess' --- could you do that for me please?' I had asked with a bit of hesitation.
She smiled reassuringly and said aloud 'Sure!'
'Thanks...'
' - now that's what I don't like --- why do you have to say thanks for little things...???'
'...I guess I don't like asking favours - it makes me feel dependent - I have always been independent'
'...hmm' she moves her eyes in a reflective manner and enunciates, 'Markets cannot always work independently - they also need intervention.'
It reminds me of a supply- demand cross diagram and market failure that occurs when efficiency and equity see a tradeoff.
'Yeah, that's correct...you are my Government', I quip.
With that beautiful realisation, we part. ***
A Government OF the people, FOR the people and "BY" the people! Hence we together constitute the Government!! we are strong supporters of Democracy rather than Monarchy or dictatorship right!!! ;P
