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....

Are movies close to everyday life??

                              Good question to ponder upon.  Whatever is depicted in films is too far from reality.  There is a yawning gap between our lives and stories shown on the big screen.  Very rare have I found reality in movies.  The way people emote on the screen is no where near the real world.  Emotions such as love, fear, anger, happiness, sadness, depression appear to be very made up.                                Just imagine yourself singing aloud for your loved one on the streets.  People will declare that you are mad!!! Dressing up like the heroines in some cases is a strict no no.  And then there are those dream sequences ( like any other gi...

Homo sapiens

                                       Yes, you got it right!  This post is about us humans.  Well, we are called Homo sapiens scientifically, have you ever wondered what we really are?  Do you remember the last time when you performed an act of kindness or showed courtesy to a stranger?  I'm sure most of you will not be able to recollect anything in the near past. The same is with me.  It takes time for me to remember when I showed kindness towards others. We have turned cold and rigid towards others.  It is just I-me-my -family kind of attitude.  This is highly deplorable.  I feel infants are far better than us adults, at least they smile at strangers with warmth.  Can a grown up think of doing this?? If she/he does he will be labelled as insane.  ...
