For the love of money

When I was young I thought money was everything but when I grew up I realize it was true - Well I am not behind this great thought but somehow it strikes you. It speaks of a naked truth which we all know but hesitate to acknowledge. We all love wealth, lets be true to ourselves if you are getting it you will not say no to it. I know money is not the start and end of everything but it makes us get up daily and get our ass to work. We change jobs, work harder, do double shifts, update skill sets, pray to the almighty, invest in stocks to have more and more of the ever elusive wealth. Well I understand that all the work we do may not be for money but still we have to work for it.
Money is so important that we require it even before our birth and will need it to perform our last rights. You spend your childhood mugging up books writing exams , working hard to get into a good college to land a good job which pays a fat pay check or get you ass nailed doing a business and running after the money till your body is fatigued enough to say good bye. If someone says 'I don't need money' or 'I don't like it' the bastard is either lazy or is an incarnation from a parallel universe where the competitive laws of natural selection does not work. Bloody hell you need a decent pay check to afford a girl friend now days. If you are broke and your girl is still with you perhaps she is on dope or is having multiple boyfriends. You need a great apartment, a sleek car and a fat bank balance before being considered lovable. Believe me I know this.

So no harm in loving wealth, at least it is better than loving poverty. You don't have to be money minded sinister being to earn it but you can still love it. When we can love our parents and friends and yes girl friends too all at the same time, we can love money along with our work. We just have to prioritize. I have learned this and have learned this hard way till you love something for what it is and accept it with all its positives and negatives you really can never have it. It is true for all relationships and so is true for money. So next time you look at the dollar bill spare a thought for it. Give poor money a chance and your life will never be same again...

Natural vs Artificial

The other day I got into an argument with our professor on the disasters which man made things have bought to our doorsteps. Well this post is not about the natural vs artificial debate but about the very definition of "Artificial". We define artificial as something conceived and created by man. We think just because the human mind has thought of it it somehow magically it is separated from the other natural things. I am of the view that there is nothing called as " Artificial ". It all natural out there. I think it is a gross arrogance on our part to think that just because we are self aware we are somehow detached from nature and we can function independently of it. I believe that nature created man to look at itself. So man being a 100% natural product will subsequently create natural products only. It may be different from what occurs commonly but when man creates a new thing it is actually nature creating itself. We may try but we will always be a subset of na...

Why do I love her?

She turned back and asked, " Why Do you love me? " She said, answer fast or you will be making up words and I know you do it very well. " Don't Think ", she was firm this time. Though I wanted to say something but I kept quiet looking into her deep eyes. I always looked at them when I am lost, tired, worried or sad. They had the zing to pep me up anytime. This time I wanted to ask her eyes to tell me, " Why I love her ?" She closed them and said no this time around you have to answer it from your Heart and I am no longer helping you out. It was tricky now and she wanted the answer. I hold her hand and drew her closer so she could hear my heart beat. I said,"Why don't you listen up for yourself". She smiled and her dark eyes just got bigger and she smilingly said,"How do I know if they are telling the truth" I said I don't know as it no longer talks to me. Its your for so long that I don't remember it being mine ever. I ...

Why are you so nice?

Have you even been treated unequally? If yes then you can relate to what it feels when you can't stand up to someone. It is not only humiliating but wipes out your self esteem completely. I feel the same when I can't stand up to you and feel burdened by your mammoth persona. Why you have to be so nice to me? I really don't deserve it. I have always believed in equality of human potential. So I never felt smaller just because one drives a bigger car than me or takes home a fatter salary check. In totality my potential is as good as anyone else so if there is a difference its there in application. I always believed in fair competition so always treated my adversaries the same way they should be. I never thought they are of smaller stature and deserve my mercy or charity in any way so even if they loose out they will have their dignity. But when it comes to you I don't know why you have been treating me unfairly. When in response to my nasty behavior you maintain your cal...
