They have decided to make Pranab Mukherjee the Indian president with retrospective effect for the period 1995 - 2000!
(An original Vivekean quote/tweet)
Explanation: As this tweet confused people on twittersphere
Retrospective: Applying to the past (when not existing or applicable formerly.)
So, just as Vodafone did not have a tax liability for a particular period earlier but Pranab Mukherjee has arbitrarily now decided to tax them retrospectively for the said period. Similarly, we're now making him President retrospectively for the period 1995-2000 - a position he had not held earlier.
Great job. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNow I know where U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney learned the concept of retrospective (or retroactive) retirement. "Romney left Bain and went to work at the Salt Lake City Olympics in 1999 and then “retired retroactively” from Bain in 2002."
ReplyDeleteThank you India for showing Mr. Romney the way.
That's quite a novel concept too.
DeleteThees chain is excellent!!!
ReplyDeleteYour satire conveys the point and probably govt mended its discretionary measure. This article has given a new thought process and we will like to implement same for our intraday tips blog.
