Abba sang in their all time famous song " money money money very funny in a rich man's world".... Well how many of us have actually thought and related ourselves and our lives to this song. Every morning as we all wake up to start our hectic day,running behind a crowded bus,sometimes missing it,then paying through our nose to auto rickshawalas. you reach the office a wee bit late to learn that your boss who always comes late to office has reached on time that day and the moment you step in he looks at the watch like thats the first time he notices that there is something in his wrist that shows the time. Then he gives you the GYAAN as to how such habits will give a black mark in your career...Blah..blah...ok now my point is why are we going through all this. The answer is you need to survive in this world for which you need something called MONEY. It is'nt survival of the fittest anymore its the survival of the richest.
The other day i was going through these matrimonial websites where just for kicks i opened a few grooms profile to know what they are looking for. To my surprise (well actually not really) most of it reads "wanted fair,slim,beautiful girl preferably working. MBA, CA, S/W professionals preferred (heard IT pays big bucks...hmmm now the ad makes sense). so weddings are not just decided on compatibility of groom and brides but the money factor matters too.
Most of the time the papers carry news about the stock market scams. I ve heard that if you invest wisely in stocks you make loads of money but man it doesn't say invest honestly. So there are these investors who swindle money using stock markets as a means. The crime rates have been increasing everyday, murder,underworld activities,drug trafficking,match fixing,prostitution... all of them centered around one ultimate motive "make money..big money"
If only money grows on trees we don't have to take the crowded bus,listen to the bull your boss gives, get an MBA to be a qualified bride,be a victim to the stock market scams. Welcome to the real world where money rules. Man made money and machines and ultimately became slaves to it.
Why do we have to go through all this. For the sake of money is it? and when we die we leave everything behind. You know what i think when a man dies the money he has earned should also be buried along with him so that he may be respected up there at the hell as well.

Everyone seems to be in such a terrible rush, restless for greater developments and greater riches and so on. Perhaps it is because of our need for the survival by utilizing an opportunity that everyone else has missed out in this zero sum game.
Do you think we are marrying to money? No, we won’t touch an electric line for a million dollars.
We do not experience all difficulties in life to bury our hard earned money, but to spend along with/for our loved one. If we have no peace with our treasures, it is because we are satisfied with just making money. Believe me; the journey towards Mount Everest makes us happy, not the feeling of being in the peak.
We are all need to learn the art of financial freedom to keep money as pencil in our hand.
I agree we are great savers, but not just savers of money. If we can’t nurture a thousand people, then nurture just our family. It is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. In this life we can do no great things, we can only do small things with great love. If everybody does, we may not have poor.
Honey, we need money just for our people.
