Gold and Indian Women

Indian ladies are somehow drifted towards gold more than anybody else I have observed. They will be more than happy if more days like "Akshaya thruthiya" are invented. Actually they don't just need a reason to buy gold. They buy ornaments just like kids buy chocolates..! The more and more social gatherings a lady is involved in, the more and more is her urge to buy newer and nicer varieties. With the uprise in the gold price in recent times, even the husbands are left with no option but to oblige and hand them over with the necessary credit cards/cash. They say its an investment too..! This crazy is even passed on to the younger generations. Over the past few years, gold shops have expanded their market so wide that the number has increased five fold. And the petty thieves have now become purely 'gold' thieves due to the rapidly increasing prices. I don't know what all this will lead to! May be we will run out of our gold resources one fine day.. Awaiting destiny..!
