‘Money can’t buy happiness’, gone are the days when it was believed. Today we live in the fake world of materialism where we are not ready to compromise; we are not ready to wait; we believe in satisfying our instant gratifications. Patience and endurance are the words that no more exist in our vocabulary. It is not the sympathy for the hungry poor sleeping in the cold winter nights in the footpath of the street outside our homes but the new car of the neighbor that makes us sleepless whole night. This is the world of plastic money where if the money in our wallet falls short we just need to get our card swapped. Now we don’t need to wait for the next month’s salary to come, because the credit is available everywhere.

Ours’ being a democratic country follows the Parliamentary form of Government of which the ‘Privileges’ form a very essential part. Since ancient times, Parliamentarians are provided with certain privileges including the privilege of Freedom of Speech, immunity from civil or criminal proceedings etc. Today these privileges seem to be nothing more than a ‘bunch of special facilities and immunities provided to the elected representatives’.
