These days a lot of thoughts frequent my mind regarding the realities of life.
One of the most curious one’s is regarding the value of money in one’s life. If seen from the perspective through which I am seeing at present, everything in life is linked to money. In fact the whole life seems to be based on running after it.
I mean, from the start we are incorporated with the importance of success in our lives. A rat race is on.
Why do people live away from their loved ones for long? Being an engineer, an MBA, an IT professional onsite or having a successful spouse …everything for what?
There is a struggle everyday.
There is something you run after, sometimes you even don’t know why, but you are running. Would you go to office if you get a million dollars a month by just sitting at home?
Once in an interview I was asked, what would I do if I get a hell lot of money and there would be flow of it as and when I need? I think it is one of the most pertinent questions of our life.
Isn’t there a harsh difference between being born super rich and born poor? (Although there are examples of people doing superbly well in adverse circumstances)
People talk about how important it is to be happy. But isn’t happiness linked to money as well? Money can buy you a lot of things which will make you happy!
May be I am missing the point altogether, hopefully I will get the answers, but still there are sayings which will live forever, like…Money hai toh Honey hai !!!

ya money is imp for a gud life...but it really is just one of the ingredients towards a good life...like sugar in tea...but too much sugar or lack of it does not make a gud cup of tea. so i guess a balance is imp and life shud have more meaning than just running after money..some larger, deeper goal.
@Varun - Well said with regards to the analogy that you gave. The search of the goal, the deeper goal would always be there....
