Journey of a currency note

                                So, having a lot of cash in your purse??  Take out a single currency note and just think who all owned it before it landed into your wallet. Isn't it a strange thing?  Especially in India it becomes a lot more easy to trace a INR note.  You can find people immortalize their loved one's by writing their names on it.  Just yesterday I saw a Rs.5 note with a 'GUNA SISTER' written on it in capital letters.  Writing numbers was a norm but now even names appear.  Xyz loves Zyx , I know quite silly but true.  Just like how at historical places you find hearts engraved with lovers' names.  Not only does it spoil these precious monuments, it is a very cheap way of publicizing one's love.
                    Coming back to currency notes and their ever changing holders, you give a 500 rupees note to a shop-keeper for buying a Rs.50 product, you get Rs.450 back...ok this is no math class... you may get it as 4 hundred rupees notes and 5 ten rupees notes.  You have found your treasure! Now think how did the shop-keeper get those Rs.10 notes.  Probability says that four kids would have bought a pack of  Lays chips.  Now how did that kid get Rs.10?? Pocket money perhaps, if he's a good guy or stolen form dad's wallet if he's a bad guy.  Nevertheless, it is the Dad who sponsors, voluntarily or involuntarily.  And we all know from where Daddy dear got it....salary.. ie; hard earned money or ....bribe for which our country is world famous today. Now if Daddy dear's employers paid him, well that is good.  But if daddy dear accepts bribe from people to get work done then this can be called as black money.  So, beware you may be in possession of some unaccounted money.  Just joking....no offense intended.
                 It is high time we realized that black money is eating away the roots of our economy and shaking the foundation of our democracy.  Let us do our bit by curing the disease called corruption whose roots are widespread in our society.

I know you must be wondering why I always end up with sermons....
