I've said this before in a post and I'll say it again . Petrol price hikes are good . I don't intend to defend anything this government might have done or , for that matter , might not have done . But let's just put this price hike in perspective . Here's a bunch of people ( a very very large bunch ) spending lakhs of rupees on cars ,polluting the skies , crowding the roads ( yes me included ) . Popularly misnamed , the aam aadmi . Now that bunch , obviously , wants petrol to be available in every ration shop at 10 liters for 20 bucks and service with a smile . Here's the counter argument .

Trailing 3-1 in the champions league tie against Napoli , an FA cup replay with birmingham , languishing in lowly 6th in the league and a group of players that for some reason looked extremely disjointed . That was the state of the club when roman abramovich raised his axe for the 8th time in as many years . The squad dint change. Roberto de Matteo was promoted to the role of interim manager . Close to nothing else changed other than that . No additions to the team , no dismissals either . But in the next 21 games Chelsea football club under the inspired guidance of roberto de Matteo turned a season on its head and left on lookers shocked . It was a display of togetherness , a single minded resolve to change , the battle of emotions that wasnt seen in this side at the beginning of the season .
