whats happening on the top floor?

one of the automobiles showroom in himachal
is 5 storeys high.
or should i say
5 storeys low!

the top floor is at the level of the road
while the all others are below road head.

this showroom is a masterpiece of sort
considering the topography it is located in.
amazingly, all floors are drive-in.

top two floors are showrooms
and bottom three are for service, repair etc.

when this was built
the architect had clearly told
not to park more than 8 SUVs
on the top floor.

each SUV has the weight of a monster
and the bottom pillars were designed to withstand
as much weight.

any more SUV on the top floor
could put the entire building at the risk.

but i noticed it many times
that due to space constraints
especially during festival seasons
safety norms were often thrown to winds
and much more monsters were accomodated on the top floor
than the stipulated limit.

the people on the four floors below the top floor
usually remained unaware of the dangerous situations.

they never ever had the hint
often that they were so close to a mishap.

they never had even a slight hint
that their safety had been often put at stake!

all the time
everyone on the lower floors
remained oblivious of the always lurking threat to their life.

since the pillars never gave way
and since festival seasons came and went away
and since nothing ever happened
the innocent guys down under
still don't know
what all threatened to happen but didn't.

for them life continues
ignorant of the real undercurrents!

--

same thing happens in stock markets.

stock market universe
is multi storeyed.

while policy makers, promotors, trading houses, brokerages etc. occupy the second from the top floors,

there is no doubt who occupies the top floor!

obviously, the fii's and the deep pockets.

also, there is no doubt about who occupies the bottom floor!
the poor retail traders!!!

the poor chaps never know
how their safety and financial life
is threatened day in and day out
by those on the top floor.

they never knew,
they don't still,
and will, probably never ever know
what financial burden is being put on the economy pillars they are standing
by those at the top.

the poor chaps will either never come to know
or will find themselves buried under collapse.

what they will never come to know is
that those on the top floor
ran out of the building
just before the collapse.
