00:00How do we calculate the poverty line?
00:02We look at the basic metabolic requirements of a man and a woman and we say if this much
00:10calorie intake has to happen and then we say this is the going rate of these edibles.
00:17If we say you are not earning this much then you deserve to be called poor.
00:22There is a logic to it.
00:24Now tell me what is the logic behind 33 LPA?
00:27There is no logic and we don't ask.
00:30There is no calculation that can ever lead to the 33 figure, where is it coming from?
00:40But you must do it and if you don't do it, shame, ostracization, somebody might just throw
00:51you out of a WhatsApp group, bloody loser, just 25 LPA.
00:55Why must I get that package?
00:58It's a must do, right?
01:00I am not saying you should not, shoulds and musts have no place in inquiry.
01:08It's a very innocent question to ask, no?
01:10Why must I go after that package?
01:14Why should I not target 63?
01:17If 33 randomly can become so important, then I could as well randomly say 63 and train myself
01:26to feel disappointed on not getting 63 because it's your own internal training.
01:32Sir, it's not coming from anywhere else.
01:34Sir, it's not coming from anywhere else.
