If you thought inflation is a serious business, think again!
New Delhi July 03 2008
If you thought inflation is a serious business, think again!

With inflation touching double digits, the government is under pressure to balance external factors like rising oil prices and the common man necessities' like Roti, Kapda and Makaan.

While newspaper editors deliberate the causes of rising inflation, cartoonists portray it to tickle the funny bone in these tough times. The last few weeks have seen newspaper designers treat the inflation number graphically.

Webdunia, the multi-lingual website in nine Indian languages, has launched an innovative exercise where the baton is in the hand of the common man and he gets to do the balancing act.

Industry estimates suggest that nearly 18 million users, representing about one-third of the total Internet users visit an Indian language site.

The aim of Webdunia's latest interactive application is to highlight how difficult it is for the common Indian to juggle her daily needs as prices go up, while putting forth the dilemma of the decision makers.

The game is called 'Mahangai' and can be viewed at games.webdunia.com in nine languages. With endeavours like these Webdunia.com's portals ensure that language is not a barrier for enjoying the benefits of the internet.

Webdunia's team of cartoonists had created a series of cartoons when Tata's Nano car was launched. The series went on to be among the most widely emailed cartoon series of the year.
