Money, Me and My

After coming across so many people everyday this questions hits my mind at least once. Almost everybody cares most about either Money or Self or something related to Self (like family or friends or something before which you can attach "my")...

As usual I thought lets google these things. Wanted to see if there is any poll on what people consider the most important thing in life. Couldn't find one. It may be there somewhere I am sure but I couldn't find. Instead when I searched for Money all I got was links to money making websites or links to financial institutes and organizations.

Most of the times I believe Money should be on number one. I wonder how this perticular system of Money came into existence? Who would have thought it will make the life on earth more difficult rather than making it easy? It must be wonderful when people used to deal with just milk and produce.

When I was a kid, I used to think it happens only in movies; like parents betraying childeren for money or friends, relatives for that matter. But yeah of course the source for all the drama on screen is real life and we start to believe that when we grow older and gain what they call as "matuarity".

And slowly we start realizing that "Nothing in this world can run without money".

and even Mother...
and even Friends...

Yes, you might not agree with me but I have seen each and everybody craving for money. Oh yeah even Mother and close or fast friends. And yes believe me even Love too.

Oh no. I am not drunk or having blues because of some heart braking situation in my life. Not at all. I just keep thiking about this everyday and thought may be I should let it go. I am not sure it will go or it will have a reverse effect ;)

The funny thing aboout Money is some people treat it as God; they worship it. So you can imagine how dirty and evil concept it is? It will make you forget the real God. Well everybody (most of us) believe in some kind or form of God.

The next thing that comes to mind is "Me" or "Mine". I don't know which one weighs more. Money or the feeling of "Self importance". I tried looking for the statistics but couldn't find any. Its so damn confusing.

Generally it works like this. If you have money then you crave for that "Me" feeling otherwise its the Money that tops. But there are many exceptions to this. There are plenty actually, they can not be called as exceptions :) I tried to put some theory but failed. :)

I recently heard this somebody saying, "There is no pure love in this world, the only love that close to pure is mother's love for her baby. Here the baby word is very important. Once the baby starts gaining again the so called maturity, both mother and baby starts losing the purity of love. Yes, even the mother. The purity of Love is been so much polluted by modern concepts of expectations and relationships, dating and mostly becasue of movies and television that there is no pure love seen in the entire world, not even a single instance." It was hard to believe first but after few minutes of conversation with that person I agreed.

Boy we are so messed up. I will write that conversation sometile later. It deserves its own blog.

And the most funniest thing is even after thinking this everyday, I get time to think about logging more hours at work for more money and keep looking for the catchy deals on electronics and computer gismos :)) I am a bastard...

Well hope we all understand this one day !! Sorry for this one.

अबोलीची फुलं...
अबोलीची फुलं परवा पिवळी झाली होती
मला समजत नव्ह्तं,
आज ती अशी का वागत होती ?

काल ती अचानक लाल झाली.
जगाला अगदी ओरडून सांगू लागली -
मला नाही असंच कोमेजून जायचं,
मला नाही असंच कोमेजून जायचं...
मला...
मला अगदी मनापासून वाटतंय,
त्याचं व्हायचं !

क्षणभर वाटलं...
वाटलं जाऊन अलगद तीला हातात घ्यावं,

नाही कोमेजून जायची,
तीला आपल्या ओंजळीनं पाणी दयावं.
जमलंच तर तीला एक नवं जीवन दयावं !

मग ऊमजलं ती आपली नव्ह्ती...
म्हणूनच का ती अशी लाल-पिवळी झाली होती ?
