BUDGET- a hole in pocket again

sorry for being late but i was actually kind of recovering from the BUDGET 2011.... well i know that now a days  one shouldn't get surprised by not so surprising BUDGET but u know i like to think positive. but clearly my positive hopes were very lucidly negated by our FM(finance minister)....hmm FM suites him  as he only talks talks and just talks..... anyways...so coming to THE BUDGET 2011, again rich remains rich.... poor are shown dreams... and the "aam aadmi" is again treated like nobody....well let me tell u that aam aadmi actually refers to middle class which of-coarse large population of INDIA is.... but our FM seems to have some other definitions to it...wonder who aam aadmi is according to him.
Anyway being a college student what i wanted was a relief from huge service tax in restaurants  that used to create a big hole in our pockets... and of-coarse inexpensive branded clothes..we all love fashion dont we? but hey hey our FM has some other plans... god knows  what came in his mind...n instead of decreasing service tax ..he rather increased it..... i mean what does he want to do with that ...i am sure he is not that dumb...to think that he could recover his fiscal deficit from this...as increase in service tax will surely  the frequency of people going to restaurants....and anyway what benefit will he get from spoiling our weekends? only he knows!!!  and not only dis.... if any of u had plans of holiday  in GOA for vacations..den hang on a sec...i guess  now most of us have to settle down being at home... coz our "DEAREST FM" has increased tax on airlines too...so either pay a hefty amount for your recreational vacation(although it wont be recreational after that burn in pocket).... or sit at home (much better... isn't it MR FM?)...ok  so dis was about our complains.. but our mom ,dad even our grandparents have complains too(did u listen MR FM when entire family is unhappy..pls tell me..who are the people u made happy?) ok as far as our moms r concerned...there main issue is the food items...i mean already they had gone throat surgeries  for there constant bargain fights with our "sabjiwaala" for all that "aloo pyaas" and with "kirane waala" for sky-high pulse prices...(reminds me of 3 idiot dialogue" paneer to ab itna itna sonar ki dukaan par bikega")   but now thanks to BUDGET even those surgery wont be possible (increased tax on medical treatment)....so the food price is anyway beyond the question. coming to dad  well their issue is TAX...well TAX is rather issue for everyone.... every one was expecting some slash down in income but like me... everyone's hopes were let down...what they got were peanuts in name of tax exemption.....OUR FM did increased tax exemption....but  just for an eyewash  with only twenty thousand increase from previous value...n ya how can i forget that he did generously increased the tax exemption to 5lakh for people above 80 years..... although the question of how many people in INDIA are above 80 goes unanswered....may be  the FM was referring to veterans in parliament...coz only they are the people of this age slot....becoz as far as my knowledge goes 72% of INDIA's population is below 40..... and even most of senior citizens  are in age group of 60-75.....well again i leave it for our finance minister to decide.... so such was BUDGET 2011 for aam aadmi..... well dere were few treats  for rural population...... but i just hope that doesn't turn out to be a case like giving lollipop and den taking it back...... lets see...what happens... but for me BUDGET  was not even close to relief....
