Well its not for the first time that the prices have been increased and logically, the prices are bound to increase with the increase in demand and consumption and the depletion of resources.  Indian government pays subsidies to control the prices but there is a limit and the government also, can't do much beyond a certain point. 

So when it's clear that it's not in even the control of the government, then why do we think so much about it? Instead, we should concentrate our time and efforts on something that "can be" controlled, but unfortunately, never been worked upon...

People still cry over fuel hikes but they won't switch off their engines at the traffic lights, shorter distances are still covered by wasting fuel that too showing off the status quotient.
