Of late there is a lot of hue and cry about legalizing prostitution in our country. The legal status of prostitution in our country is very interesting.

I remember the entire college was glued to the auditorium where the Budget was being featured live on a news channel. Business and economics was new to me and I was intrigued by the way, this one day impacts the entire year of our nation’s economy and to an extent ourselves.
