WORK.. WHAT AM I WITHOUT THAT?

The friend was at the doorstep in the early morning hrs..

“Are you ready with your bags and bicycle? Min 5 bags are required!”

"I'm ready.. What's the evening program?”

“No great program.. Salary is coming in the lorry.. After taking that in each of our 5 bags, we'll straight head to our food store. Many essentials may be missing. Whatever, let’s take only those items with long shelf life!”

“What about the rest of the money?”

"They are just bundles of cash only and nothing great we get out of that. Now since banks are shut, the balance we'll keep in our homes!”

“I feel very bad for the situation. When will it improve?”

“God only knows. At least are not starving!"

In the evening while returning, we entered the restaurant and ordered our favorite chai and biscuit..

“See, the numbers on display? Too big figures changing very fast!”

“Yeah! The price will change quite a bit from the time we order our chai to the time we finish it. The latest price displayed had to be payed by us when the bill is prepared. OK! Let's finish our chai faster. The numbers are jumping a bit fast today and already crossed the limit expected!”

We soon paid a big bill for 2 cups of chai and 2 biscuits, came out and headed homewards with bags of cash on our bicycles..

“You know what happened to the 2 people at the end of our street.. One who used to save every pie in the bank and the other who used to drink and throw bottles in the backyard? Today, the 1st man lost all his cash and the 2nd one got big worth for selling his junk bottles. Can't imagine such things happening!”

The dreaded dream was too much and I suddenly woke up sweating profusely with my heart beating very fast.The time was 6 AM with morning twilight seen in the horizon thru’ the window followed by twittering noises of early morning birds..

I took some time to come to senses and feel my surroundings. As I slowly turned on bed, I saw the book next to me and instantly recollected reading about

Hyperinflation of the times before World War II
