the War in Ukraine has literally set the world on a collision course with
Inflation with major economies trying to fight it with higher interest rates.
Food prices at the grocery stores are and still going through the roof with no
sign of prices coming down as everyone is grappling with soaring prices of
everything and it seems things are going to remain this way for a long time. I
have been witnessing the price creep on everything from fruit, Candies, soft drinks,
chips, eggs bread and all the other staple prices. It is distressing as the
wages have been unable to keep with ever rising prices. Energy prices which had
peak earlier to 5 dollars a gallon and above have come down a bit to 3.50
dollars to a gallon, which is much relieve and it is tending to stick around those
prices for some future.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Initially when I use to go to grocery store every
week, I use to see five cents or 10 cents increase here and there on every item
that I consumed. But for now the prices seems to have stabilized somewhat. But
they don’t seem to come down as hoped.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I have switched to store brands instead of national
brands to save money but sometimes even store brands are expensive as compared
to national brands. So, depending on whatever is cheaper, I buy that stuff as I
am not a stickler of which brand, I like for some items at least. People are
doing two or three jobs but they are still struggling to put food on their
tables and roof on their head and provide for the families. The Central banks
are trying hard to tame the inflation but it seems inflation is here to stay
for the foreseeable future. I feel for the people who are struggling in these
hard times as the biggest struggle to keep on their heads is becoming an uphill
battle for some as the soaring rents and housing prices are creating more
homelessness than usual. Let us hope that sometime in the future, this monster
is tamed as it will not be soon enough for many people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260441477488632736.post-10217588652306196782023-07-23T01:49:00.001-04:002023-07-23T01:49:04.080-04:00On the lighter side-Movies- Violent Night (2022)- David Harbour, John Leguizamo<p><span style="background-color: white;">An

It was the
Year 2009 when I got the shocking news that my beloved Father passed away
peacefully in his sleep and left me alone to face this cruel world by myself
without this wisdom and advice to navigate my life. The void that he has left me
in my life will never ever be fulfilled as I mourn him every day and will do so
for the rest of my life. I just miss him so much that words are not there to
describe it. I am so lost without him that even in this world full of people, I
feel so lonely. I wish I can see him again and hug and kiss him and cry on his
shoulder. I miss you so much and I love you so much my beloved father</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260441477488632736.post-92011171834689788922022-01-03T22:51:00.001-05:002022-01-03T22:51:06.695-05:00The Thirteen anniversary of my Father’s Death<p> <span style="background-color: white;">It has
been thirteen years ago on January 3, 2009 that my father passed away and I
cannot begin to say how much I miss him. Although, time heals everything but
some sad events in your life can never be healed and this is one of those
events that no person can let go of, no matter how many years pass by. After
the death of my father in 2009, I have been visiting my Father’s grave,
starting in 2019 and every year since then and I intend to do it every year or
maybe more. As I miss him so much as the years go by and I need his advice and
support every moment of my life. As there is no man in my life who can advice
me about how to navigate my remaining years as much as father can. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">He was
more than just a father and he loved me dearly and I loved him back dearly too
and it is impossible to love a man as deeply and intensely as my own father. As
another year passes by, the agony and pain I have for not being with me
remains. I wish I could have more time with him but for now I just have his
memories and his presence in me that will be the guiding light in my life. I
miss him and love you daddy.</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260441477488632736.post-8092554155543624572021-06-20T15:32:00.004-04:002021-06-20T15:32:37.216-04:00On the lighter side-Movies-Mortal (2020-Norway)-Nat Wolff, Iben Akerlie<p> <span style="background-color: white;">A man discover he has super powers in this European
