Getting rich by selling diaries
In a few weeks time, the sidewalks of Baitul Mukurram will be full of diaries. Many of the diaries have been stolen from different companies. It is also part of a scam that affects the whole society. The cancer has reached the stage of "metastasis."
The diaries give all sorts of information. Some of them are ten years old, providing wrong information to the public.
Seeing these diaries I feel we have become a nation of lazybones. Why must one work hard if the street smart 'diary wallahs' can make as much profits as do big corporations. 'By the sweat of thy brow, shall you earn your bread' seems a wrong maxim in our context. Being a plain copycat is good enough for us.
