TEACHER AMMA

When my family moved into our flat in Chennai, I hardly knew other residents in that building.  In the evenings, when I go to the ground floor to go for a walk, if I get out of the lift, the number of footwears lying in the lift landing area really irritated me.  I observed that they are all children’s shoes and slippers.  I wondered who can have so many children!  Out of curiosity I asked my friendly next door neighbor about the footwear found in the ground floor.  She told me that Prema teacher lives there and she takes tuitions at home for school children.  This irked me even more.  How can she use her residence for commercial purpose?  I decided to raise this issue during the association meeting. I also found the children causing nuisance like, littering the corridors, sitting on the cars parked and making noise.  Even after living there for 6 months I could not meet her. I was waiting for a chance to meet her so that I can tell her to shift her tuition classes some

Is Consumerism becoming the spice of life?

Image
Ms. A. Samshath Consumerism is at its peak. On one side there’s so much of poverty that even basic amenities are not available to some.  On the other side there’s excess of everything. People get fed up with eating the same kind of food so they go to different restaurants.  Many shop until they drop and come home loaded down with things they don’t really need.  What do people do with so many things? Consider dresses— the common excuse is, “How can I wear the same dress again and again? The dress worn in one party is seen by all my friends.  I don’t want to repeat it at the next party.” The same goes for jewelry: “How can I wear the same set again and again?” People collect personal items from footwear, goggles, handbags, accessories, etc. to furniture, curtains, cushions, and artifacts.  For some, cellphones and other electronic gadgets have to be changed whenever there’s a new one in the market! A lady who had only two children had such a huge collection of glassware, cutle

Taxing taxes

Taxing taxes ‘Are you a tax payer?’ asked my teenage daughter’s friend.  She found this question funny and said, ‘No!’ The reason for her to find the question funny is, she hasn’t started earning.  I started thinking about the tax system in India.  My daughter who has no earnings is not a tax payer ‘only technically’.  But practically, she pays tax!  You find this intriguing?  Let me explain. Every Indian from birth starts paying indirect tax and continues to pay various taxes until he/she dies.  Right from tooth brush to property, whatever you buy you are expected to pay various taxes to state and central governments, with different names like, sales tax, service tax, VAT - value added tax (even if no value is added), etc. There are some taxes levied by state government and some other taxes levied by the central government.  It’s ridiculous, even when the consumer is not selling anything, he has to pay the ‘sales tax’ while he is actually ‘buying’ something.  When someon
