    This has just started unwinding... We in India are not immune to this fear of loosing trusted job.... Many things can help us here... Our willingness to stay out of our comfort zones is very handly.... also don't fall to attraction of EMI purchases... At this juncture buy a second hand with full cash is a better idea... Don't attract chains around your legs at any time... Think of low cost self employment like selling peanuts or churmura along with the one taught by viswa guru ... sell Chai.... No job is bad... Will to live on will teach us ways to pull on...
