No list is a good listAnnual list of billionaires is out and with that will follow the various analyses by the different “experts”.

Let me present you with the few:

1. There are four Indians in top ten. Indians will be mad with praise for these people. The press will be madder. You will find various astrologers predicting that very soon one of the will be the most rich. Someone else will be predicting about how the lady luck has done one good. Then we will also find sunday-silky-smooth newspapers full of their history and how they made it, again.

2. We will also have some communists crying hoarse how bad the world is going. They will try to bring in your notice that how many people are dying because of malnutrition and diseases. The growing inflation hurting common man and how these bourgeois making money from the distresses. They will try to bring in your notice that how much disparity is there; how only a handful of people own the world; and non-billionaires of the world need to unite as they literally have nothing to lose but their sanity.

3. We will have enlightening thoughts about the importance of democracy as all are from democratic countries; nobody telling that all those sheikhs of Middle-east have not been included in the list as all other will become dwarf in front of them.

4. We will also find some economist predicting the thickness of globalism and saying that how good is the fact that now most of the billionaires in the top 10 are from developing countries. He will be blushing from happiness that finally the invisible hand is starting to become visible. It won’t stop there. You will also find critique of that and further time and money will get wasted over it which has become an annual show.

5. The non-governmental agencies will find a benefit for themselves in this. They will flock to these billionaires who themselves give a damn about it; will sell these masters of art-of-selling how much they can do for the world and how their name will be known for eternity if they contribute ‘this- much’ for the welfare of the world. The poor, wretched children of Africa’s, with their malnutritioned-bellies are really handy in such situations.

6. Many economists will use it to sell their crappy books telling you how they made it to the top. The only people who understand it are they as they are going to make it big from the royalties of the bullshit. Further discussion will be held making meaning out of non-sense and praising how subtle was the message. Those who made some meaning will get praised by that how penetrating their intellect is.

7. We will also find some incidents of cyber-squatting, and then their court room trials and then their entry into eternity through law-books, which will be lamented by most of law students.

8. Further will have some ‘seminal’ book saying that how money is not money and how all these people are just fooling you by make believing that they are above others. The author will surely get above us.

9. Many will befit from this but none more than the Forbes magazine, which is more famous for its ranking then for its content.

10. We will also some living-style channel focusing on how these billionaires live and how spend their money. Also will be present the list of their friends, hobbies, kin, favorite books, pets, et al.

11. Lastly but not exhaustively, I who has made you read such an article. Any other use will be highly appreciated (not by me but who can gain something from it).

Yea, I do agree with Manoj in totality .... When the whole world has taken notice of these Indians in the list, what stops Arjun? Moreover, we can take pride in the fact that we colonial cousins, so far as the nationality is concerned !!
