expecting solution to the european crisis?


dear venkat, solving the european crisis is like treating a chronic drinker.

if u abruptly take him off the alcohol (easy money supply, poor fiscal discipline, weak economy)
he is likely to show symptoms of alcohol withdrawal
which can be silent or life-threatening!

some of these symptoms are

increased pulse rate
increased blood pressure
increased temperature
restlessness
disturbed sleep
anxiety
nausea and vomiting
headache
irritability
tremor
hallucinations
seizures
and coma.

many of these symptoms are already there in the european union.

withdrawal symptoms last longer in older persons (economies)

withdrawal can complicate other illnesses (political, social, geogrpahical)

--

patients (like india) who are infrequent or moderate drinkers are less likely to suffer withdrawal symptoms.

--

gradually reducing alcohol consumption results in lesser withdrawal effects.

and such a course needs time, will power and luck!

--

if the world is a family
some countries in the european union
are not the only ones needing this daredevil de-addiction rescue.

there is a chronic patient on the other side of the atlantic.

as a member of such a family of chronic alcoholics
india has to bear with sleepless nights!
