Making an omelet

You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs

Demonetization in India of 500 and 1000 rupee notes has inconvenienced many particularly the class of people who have no plastic cards or other banking facilities. Those who have them and many others like Mr. Sunil Alagh could very conveniently say  'why you need cash'? True, why on earth people need cash. He goes further to add that there will always be some inconvenience for a greater cause which is eradicating the menace of black money. He is in effect telling us that 'you can't makE an omelet without breaking some eggs' and he right. May he eats lots of them everyday for breakfast. 
Barter system was good and humans started trading with exchange of goods and services and do so even today in remote villages. During this 'moments of sacrifice' some people resorted to barter system. This is a good sign. Going back to roots is always welcome and who knows it better than party in Government who have been rooting for the return to roots in the field of education, culture, religion. Left to them they would even undo the history of last decade or more and make India a Ram Rajya  having started with Demolition of Bari Masjid. 
Yes, we all know some eggs do get broken for making an omelet but for whom? Those who can afford them or those who make do with salt and a piece of home made bread? And if they want to, they don't have money to buy nor flash a plastic card nor transfer money by electronic wallet. 
Yes, we know it will be over in few weeks, may be months but by then there may not be those hen laying eggs because they can not be fed for want of money. The doctor reaching after the death of the patient. 
Let us go to barter. You never know when the Government would say again that the notes you are holding are no more legal tender. You never know when the Government would ask you deposit your money in banks but not allow you to withdraw.
