global recession and my train waitlist

...
h1: so you see, its a bad situation out there and everywhere.
me: hmm... economies and finances all on down-hill. how about your business?
h1: its slow in comparison. but in one segment its interestingly growing. the cause and effect is amazing!
me: and whats that?
h1: see, this is a healthy season, so sales is already slow of our pharma products. but in the market, Anti-depression drugs are doing quite well! because of recession, markets are plunging, business are taking hit, money is lost and so more people are in depression.
me: and so more of that drug is selling. great! i suppose same will be the case in cigarrettes and alcohol.
h1: presumably yes, if we can cross-check with the figures. its all the effect of macro-economy!
and not only that, this recession and the resulting depression is sending people here to the camps of those saints who teach yoga and other techniques to relax your mind. like that Ramdev baba! his shivir (camp) is booked for next two years!
me: and others must be going to some picnic spots and tourist destinations to take a break. oh! now i see, why my wait-listed train ticket to home is not getting confirmed! there's no room!
h1: hahaha. you'll be going home, standing, through the overnight journey by the blessings of Global Recession!
me: great! *sigh... hehehe. the market fall should have happened after i had reached home for Diwali
