My dear Government,
Read your latest warning in today’s paper. If I remember right ( I am getting old and
can’t remember things these days) you told us that we can deposit our old
currency into our own accounts any time, any amount, any number of times, till
30th Dec. Please forgive me for I did not know that you were joking. I took it
seriously. I thought I will go over to
the bank at my convenience and deposit whatever I had with me. What I have with
me is honestly earned and tax paid money and I saw our hon PM saying through large hoardings at all
petrol pumps “honest people do not fear”. Again I did not know it was just the
joke of the year. I took him seriously too. I did not deposit my old notes
earlier because I really thought that you and our PM really meant whatever you
had said. Only now I understand that you are making statements on day to day
basis and you really do not mean what you say.
I was also confused by the Hon Supreme court which directed
you to allow the use of old currency for basic needs as you have not been able
to provide enough new currency. I agree
that I have been foolish in thinking that getting rid of pain falls under the
category of basic needs and I have also accepted some old currency whenever my
patients pleaded inability to pay me in new currency.
Now kindly accept these eighteen notes and please let me
know if you want me to close down my clinic till you make up your mind about
this demonetisation business which I do not understand. I am only a dentist and
not an economist. But from my experience as a dentist with over forty years
experience, I really know what is your problem. You have bitten more than you
can chew. If you want to chew up things further please get in touch with me. I
offer my services free.
Your faithfully,
an old dentist
