With the assembly elections now behind us and the political parties no longer bothered about taking unpopular decisions, petrol prices are likely to go up substantially, by as much as Rs 10 a litre if the grapevine is to be believed. But we are not alone, gas prices are shooting up across the world.
Here's a lovely short film that Kanchan Kaur sent that captures the hilarity of it all:

Hey this was swell!!!
A sure foot tapping way to realising the grim facts of gasoline!
Give me lyrics like this one and some music too and I shall walk away my blues!!
Who wants gasoline!
I remember there was a Hindi film song with similar lyrics (Mehengaai Maar Gayi from Roti Kapda aur Makaan) but referring to the prices of essential commodities in the 70s.
