Inflation Index

When I joined my first company, I was posted in chennai for initial years. I was staying with some of friends at that time. As you know we all were bachelors so when it comes to cleaning the house were not so up to the mark. Even though we were staying in 3rd floor apartment, it used to gather lot of dust. So, we devised a technique to find out when to clean the house. We kept a reference book, when it gathered dust, we used to clean the house. But after some time, it was if the reference book used to gather the dust, we used to clean the dust from the reference book and say since reference is clean there is no no need to clean the house :-).

Seems the same learning is taken by our UPA sarkar, whenever inflation goes higher, they change the year of inflation index to be calculated, making inflation figures go down while the actual price of commodities still remain the same. Let the price remain high, let the aam admi suffer, but hey look our inflation numbers are not bad. A+ job by UPA. :-)
