Cost of petrol - Reality check

Well, this morning I got my car filled with gas at one of the Shell petrol stations in the city (Bangalore).

I paid INR 69.05 per litre (Super Unleaded).

This is the actual cost of petrol without subsidies. This is INR 9.00 per litre more than the petrol available at state owned petrol pumps.

Well said, positive stress brings out the best in a person. If the stress is too much or negative stress then it can be lethal.

Working life

23 years on an average is wasted preparing to get a job.
This is 28.75% if our life (assumption based on average life expectancy of 80years)


We all know each year has 365 days.

On an average private companies have 10 national holidays and an employee gets 30 days as paid leaves.

Saturdays and Sundays makes up 104 days in a year

To conclude we work 221 days in a year and end up spending 60.5% of our working life waiting for a weekend or a holiday.


If we assume that a person works for 30 years. We waste 18 years waiting for a weekend or a holiday.

Based on the assumptions above if we live till the age of 80 years we waste 41 years .i.e. approx 51% of our lives working waiting for weekend or a holiday to relax and enjoy life.
