More we are advanced in literacy, science and technology; more we seem to be pulled backward. You must be thinking how! Don’t you find those ads for miracle cures, talisman for turning your fortune or ‘tantric’ solution for wining lost love! There are numerous ads of those we find every morning in almost all the newspapers.   I am sure most of us ignore them; but there are many to believe for whom those ads are! Recently there was an ad appeared in front page of talisman promising to bring prosperity instantly!   Do you think those advertisers are fool to spend so much on ads unless they bring them good returns!   Even a decade ago, such ads were numbering much less; prior to that they were still lesser. May be the modern fast life turning us more insecure. The consumerism, the craze for all cosy life makes the man run after money without caring for minimum road safety. So the risk is high and to alleviate the risk; seek the refuge under illusionary astrologers,...

Credit cards of several banks are now available in market. I remember in mid 90s when it first hit the market; it was status symbol.

What they are asking for; just our salary statement. But their eligibility criteria appeared beyond our reach. However; after two or three years of their arrival; I dared applying for one. It was also a foreign bank; the lady representative who accepted my application did not seem to be much enthusiastic .  In fact, I was planning for a tour to south India with family.  I thought a credit card would provide me extra security while away from home in case of emergency.

I understood it was my meager salary that did not merit the privile...
