Petrol Prices Dropped By 1 Paise And So Did Our Hopes For Life

We all have watched 3 Idiots and absolutely loved it, however, from past few days there’s one particular dialogue from the movie that seems to be perfect for the life we’re currently living, “paneer toh thode dino mai sunaar ki dukaan pe bikega”.

While at first, the prices were stagnant for a long period of days, then it finally changed and absolutely refused to anything but comfortable for the public. Petrol prices reached a new high and one couldn’t sleep on them. However, after 16 long days of petrol hike, the prices finally dropped and no one expected the drop to be so massive as it was.

When they first announced the cut, they said that petrol and diesel will be reduced by 60 paise and 59 paise respectively.
