Black Money:The dark cognate of money

Black Money: a money for which you have not paid tax, money of people stolen either from government or directly from us! Whenever we don't take a bill for our grocery purchase, or pay a bribe to some babu(clerk) or mamu (traffic police), or buy pirated CD, download pirated songs/movie/software, we are contributing to the realm of the black money.
Its kind of fascinating that as there is "matter and anti matter" , we have "money and Black money". Both were created at the "moment of creation" (of course their individual creation).
They coexist, with out interfering to each other. But there is one thing very different about this cognate of money with that of matter. Matter cannot be converted to Antimatter but money can!
Its like playing the role of its cognate twin.

I believe that e-money or plastic money is a good solution to this twin brother devil. Once, while getting my CNG car refulled, the man at the gas station gave a very fantastic pragmatic idea of dealing with balck money problem. That was "sare currency note badal ke naye chhaapo to sara kala dhan, jo bekar pada hai, ekdam khatam". The government should cancel all the old notes and issue a new currency. They should slowly replace the existing currency and support e-money and plastic money. This will reduce the value of all those crores of rupees of black money to a pile of scrap (raddi). And then , at least that heap of black money cant be used to fertilize the corrupt business practices and also the crime and terrorism. but as most of the black money is with the poerfull businessmen or Netas(politicians), this kind of change has to come with a very string political will to fight against black money!
Till than,dont pay bribe, dont buy pirated CDs, and use your debit/credit card instead of paying cash or take a billl (pakka bill..not just a rough paper).
