Financial Management

A beggar to another beggar: I had a grand dinner at Taj yesterday.

How? The other beggar asked.

First beggar: Some one gave me a Rs 100/- note yesterday.

I went to Taj and ordered dinner worth Rs 1000/- and enjoyed the dinner. When the bill came, I said, I had no money.The Taj manager called the policeman, and handed me over to him.

I gave the Rs 100/- note to the police fellow, and he set me free.

Friendship Day

Just few hours before the end of this friendship day ... latest friend added .... by the way she happens to be my 200th friend on orkut and one of the two persons who had sent a personalized Happy friendship day message. Other one was of course my child hood pal who happens to be the oldest friend of mine to date .. don't mistake his age ... it is the age of our friendship that falls short of our age by probably 7 years.

If one has to value something over oneself it is friends..... and I feel friends are the people who ensure that one grows as a person and develops a personality. You need them to take you through difficulties and cheer your achievements. They are the only ones who knows all about you and still like you. And I think it is the day we honour all the friends who had really helped us to discover ourselves and understand our strengths and limitations.

I am happy that I have a small set of good friends and this very feeling makes me proud. By God's grace I hope I make a few more friends in this lifetime!!!
