Money Vs Happiness

Money Vs Happiness​

Today there was this interesting piece of news on the TOI dt 10/2/10







Karl Rabeder, a businessman from Austria, who owns an empire worth 3 million pounds( appx Indian Rupees Twenty Five Crores) , has decided to give it all away, and retire in a hut in the mountains. His empire includes 17 hectares of lake looking land worth 6,13,000 pounds, He has already got rid of six gliders valued at 3,50,000 pounds, and a luxury Audi worth 44,000 pounds , and many other things.


He says money has brought him misery, and he wants to find happiness in a hut in the mountains.!!!!!!!!!!


This set my mind thinking, even I want to find happiness, swear, not that I am unhappy, but I want to be more happy, but I don’t have that kind of dough to give away, u see !


I don’t know why some people are allergic to money.Yes I know people are allergic to Sea Food, as is my cousin, he got rashes all over his body and it took him years to cure it, so he is mortified of sea food.But allergic to money, well very few I have found.


Money is something to be respected.Money is very important in life, be it black or white, when u are undergoing an operation, the doctor does not ask u the colour of yur money, he wants yr money before they proceed to cut u up.Money is need to buy those expensive medicines, that the cancer patients need day in and day out.


Tiger Woods was not that good looking, for the babes to fall over him by the dozens, but it was the the money that he had, which attracts these dames.And it is this money that keeps them quiet.


Money upgrades u from cattle class to first class, as Shashi Thoroor informed us on his tweets.Vijay Malaya has shown us that money can buy him yatches, have the prettiest of the ladies posing in the skimpiest of the bikinis for his KF calendars, having less money, means u drink Royal Stag like me and drive a Maruti Van, and for donkey’s years smoke the common wills.


My Dad taught me a very important lesson around 20 years back.I was broke those days, and used to buy smuggled Whiskey, which was around half the market price.Dad told me, kamal don’t buy this stuff, it could be adulterated, and it could cost u your life.Keep any vice, he said, provided u can afford it, otherwise leave it. It hit me that day, and I stopped doing that thing.


Another thing he told me, seeing me cut down on quality of essentials, like if Harsha told me , kamal go buy Postman oil 15 kgs can for 700, I would land up buying some Maruti brand of Gujerat, for 500, for 200 meant a lot to me those days.(it still does ).And harsha used to hate the taste of the groundnut oil of these companies.


So Dad told me, Kamal, how much can a person cut down on his expenses.We all know that every year, staff will ask more, petrol ,electricity,gas cylinder all will go up, what will u cut down on, make Harsha cook on Stove and kerosene ?


He taught me a lesson, which I have not forgotton to this date, and never will.He said, kamal, increase the line of earning so high, that it is way above the expense line, so the expenses become irrereverant in your life !


Hence dear friends , money is very important in life, at least to me. At this stage it does not matter to me, if tomatoes are 40 a kilo or 10 a kilo, we eat what we want to eat. But I still make do with what I used to then, that is wills cigarettes, Royal Stag, the same fish, no girlfriends habits, they are very expensive to maintain, as I have seen Tiger Woods , and the UK footballer Terry, I avoid scotch, 5 stars, gambling in Clubs with strangers, for the rest I have enough.It is money that allows me to sleep in the cool comforts in the summers, to travel by flight instead of trains.


But as they say, money brings misery, and as this Austrian also says, so I request all my friends, to pass on their money and misery to me, if not now, then in you r Will, for what is a friend for , if he will not share your troubles and misery,along with money !!!.


So when any one of u is tired of money, always remember Kamal, let my grinning face come in front of u, don’t give it to any pandit, or charity, for charity begins at home, and home means me !


And all these babes, if u are dreaming of them, come to money, not your personality !
I just love money, the colour the smell , everything about money, and no wonder Laxmi Devi is smiling again as she is reading this blog, and she had the chociest of the expletives for this fellow who is giving it all away.


Smile.

A Man was watching a cricket match, and during Ads was changing the channels when he comes across a porno channel, and his wife happened to come in.

Man asks wife, Should I watch this ****, or cricket ?
Wife – Watch ****, for u already know how to play cricket !

Dear Sri,

Firstlu i must say, yr office is damn good to allow u to surf the net, while on duty.sigh ! Wish i had that opportunity.:biglaughIt is an Art to have Chivas Regal at someone else's cost.i too have that art, for all the botles at my home, are brought in by cousins and relatives, who come to stay with me from overseas. They pay for their room at my place by the bottles.HAHA

Well the ideas for the blogs do come in after the so called " Stuff " is inside me.But money is a boon to most, i dont know what is wrong with money, that people give it away.

I read somewhere money is like fire, have enough to warm u, but not so much as to burn u.And 3 million pounds is peanuites over there, and this fellow had all the usless things like a yatch, and gliders.

You cant run away from money, yr home, relatives and find peace in the Himalayas and Kumb Melas.Enjoy the money, and give away to the needy, iof more.Dont insult money, for once scorned like a woman, u have had it.It will never come back.

Always a pleasure top read yr FB, and when it is the first one, it is the icing on the cake, iw anted yr comment to show for long on the board, but soon others came along and yr name disappeared.

and one thing i must say Sri, the FB;s that i get here, are so good, detailed, people give Dil se, and i am haviong a lot of fun here,now with so many good writers coming up, Tubelight, Shiva chaubey,Radhika, Knot to share, and so many others, it is a pleasure to be here whole day.

Wiaitng to see u next month, the bottle i am gettinn, and when we sit, the roof will come down.Jeleous anyone here ? Me and Sri will be together for a few days nextmonth down south for a wedding of a common frined's daughter.

Regards

Dear Kaviamma,

I guess k must stand for it.HAHA.25% u want, that is all, ask for 50%, u sell yourself tooc heap.HAHAHAAHAHAHA

Yes if u and me take oer the misery of I Lites we will be doing them a big big favour, nahin, and make our selves some nice moolah:rotfl

But even if u have moer than what u need, u can always help the really needy, why give away the excess and even the necessary part of monmey.what fun to sleep in a hut in the himalayas, with mosquitoes and heat as companions, and be at the receiving end for eating what people will offer u, why not go buy what u want to eat, dand drink and clothes yrself the way u want.

Thanks the the lovely FB K, and let me know yr real name, i am curious, otherwise i will start calling u by other names very soon.:biglaugh:biglaugh

Regards
