Surprises and shocks

The article is very interesting and gives an analysis of events in a  unique way.Life is full of surprises for all particularly Indians. They got UPA into power twice in 2004 and 2009,but they got only scams and unmanageable price increases all around. It was both a surprise and a shock.They elcted BJP for the total surprise of all Congressmen and their leaders. Now people are wondering whether some Change would happen in the economy  or not . Expectations were at the peak when Mr Modi took charge of the country on May 26th and now two months are over and what would happen to the economy is still a mystery.Budget has not only surprsed but added to the confusion. Nobody including veteran economists are able to say in very clear terms whether budget is growth oriented or people oriented. or both. A bit confusion is there on that count. Nature has its own surprises.Earlier prediction was that it would be a failure but now it rains cats and dogs throught out the country as per some reports.Russia and Israel have created chaos, shocks and surprises the world over. Life goes on with lot of optimism,surprises and hopes.
