Its true! And I’ll need very little information and deductive logic to prove this. As of today, there have been enough attacks on students all over the world. This is not the same kind of assumption as the one made by Manny Singh, singing about developed nations being responsible for global economic metldown and globabl warming.

Yeah so the developed nations did have a headstart screwing the world over but it isn’t like the Indian Circus(I’m not calling it a government any more) were very far behind in the sodomization of our planet it’s resources and inhabitants.

A discovery that is far greater than that of the telephone and youtube has been “unearthed”(pun intended), that Currency Exchange Rates ar responsible for killing more Indian students worldwide than racism. Get your calculator or pinch one from your Mum’s purse and start tappity tapping away at it. A vegetarian burger meal at Nandu’s is $12 AUD in Australia. The current rate of exchange from the celestial Indian Rupee (INR) to the Ruddy AUD is a whopping Rs.40 to a Dollar. And I chose this place due it’s currency being weaker than the US, big mistake! For my international readers let me put across to them that “The World Bank estimates that 456 million Indians (42% of the total Indian population) now live under the global poverty line of $1.25 per day (PPP).” Wiki Those poor people live under one Aussie Dollar a day! Yes! and Nandu’s have the cojones to charge 12 AUD per veggie burger meal?

Alright, enough math, its causing my head to go under the poverty line. Lets take things to the next level, if India had a stronger currency, Indian students abroad might have had safer lives, not having to work for to pay off loans and those pounds of flesh that our families have put on the line. But the hardest, saddest and most painful truth of all is that if India had a stronger currency the millions of students abroad would not even have had to leave the motherland and the love of their families to seek a better education. If only quality Indian education would not be limited to those MOFO IIT’s and IIM’s. So what if you have a higher chance of getting in if you come from the scum of a caste system(that was abolished in 400BC?), so what if you have a higher chance of getting into Mumbai or Delhi University if you have a parent who’s of the Sindhi, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Martian Religion?

Dear Mr. Puppet Indian Prime Minister, you will not achieve the title of a developed nation for India by pushing the rich under the poverty line and giving quotas to those who are already hurting below the belt.

Stop Screwing the nation, stop quotas! Stop racism from hurting you’re countrymen! Unleash the friggin currency!

Now before all you advertisers and people who work on the advertisement side of the universe get worked up, allow me to specify.

I have been browsing a whole bunch of posts on a whole bunch of websites and I have seen a whole bunch of yuck advertising all over the place and it just looks, ugly. As much as I’d love to earn (paper)boat loads of money from all you people visiting my site, I will continue to keep this site advertisement free(that means without). No offence to Google who makes a majority of those canned piranhas called sidebar suggestions. You won’t find it here.

What you will definitely find are constant updates on the aesthetics and the accessibility of the site. Contrary to what you guys believe, I am not a web designer. (Actually I am, but I can’t code for crap) So this point onwards I will be taking the help of a close friend and colleague of mine (www.Yavisht.com) to make your AnirudhAsher.com experience a life changing one.

Now before I fail my communication exam and thus delight my professor into unending bliss, I must get back to studying. Expect a whole bunch of posts later in the day as I throw caution to the winds and attempt to battle insomnia to bring you a whole plethora of topics and tribulations to simply “Entertain you”.

Update: If I ever do end up putting up advertising on here, it will probably link to a source of better writing and a wider range of topics to choose from *hint* a personal project for an online blogging league*hint hint* and by Jove, it will look appealing (even if you are a punk/grunge rocker)
