Money never said it can't buy you happiness

 Two incomparable things, money and happiness have been intertwined together and complete one another from time to time. Whoever said “Money can’t buy happiness” attended the old school of thoughts which ceases to exist now. You believe in that. Well I don’t, if it cannot buy you happiness why doesn't everyone just give up this mad money race and sit back home watching TV. No, you can’t because even this meager luxury like TV costs bucks. Person who gave this intellectual notion of money being worldly was a huge hypocrite who overlooked the mystical power of these paper notes.  These ordinary pieces of paper have the power to hypnotize every significant man on this earth. Ask an employee who gets a bonus on Diwali, whether less or more, it does bring a shine of festivity into his eyes, and I call that happiness only. Who says money can’t buy you a reason to smile; ask a little girl whose daddy got her a new dress and a Barbie doll on her birthday. Obviously these dresses and dolls do not grow on trees. They are bought with this much criticized materialistic entity called money only.

  Following the cycle of life, one needs a hospital to be born into, a house to live in, food to eat, bed to sleep and other luxuries to live life. Which magical beauty can buy all this for you? I can think of only one name and that is a wallet full of cash. If somebody still claims to be ascetic enough to ignore this boon or bane, suggest him to gift all his inheritance to me. Money is not the cause of your gloom; it is the greed for money which spoils the game. The system has always been give and take. Earlier it was barter system, goods in exchange of goods and now it is money in exchange of goods. Whichever way only roles have been exchanged otherwise the need is still the same. Life without money is beyond imagination. You need some necessities to live, which only money can buy. The mere completion of these needs only will give you happiness. So indirectly you do need money to buy you happiness and you cannot ignore its importance, no matter how hard you try.

Flood Waters show favoritism

Seeing the plight of Jammu and Kashmir people with my own eyes today, I realized how bad can be nature’s fury, once it comes into play. Agonized eyes, stressed heads were running from this corner to that, looking for someone to share their wrath with. Every new face was giving them a ray of hope. Their tongues trembled while stating the pain they went through. It’s not easy to see your own house, where you have spent half of your life and place which is full of your memories, lying in shackles.

Old ladies looking towards the sky and wondering, how would their children feed them when they can’t even feed their own newborns? Newlyweds doubting the marital bliss they were dreaming of. Kids unable to enjoy the freedom from classrooms, sitting inside damaged home looking for a place to play,  to sleep and watch TV.  When the whole household got washed away, what was left behind was rotten eatables, wet electronics beyond repair, clothes and every other thing of necessity smelling of stale water. The words are not just enough to define what they actually went through. Eyes on their own would start dripping water, seeing them suffering. A lady stacked in the same clothes for last 5 days was crying her eyes out, repeating her story to every other person, to lure her pain away. But this is the pain that won’t go away that easy.

 I wonder where the government of special state was, hiding away in penthouses. Why the water of floods which spared no one was pitiful towards these spineless retards? Why people were dying but there was no news of a politician being in threat or fighting the water crisis? This thought draws us to this conclusion that disasters are only meant for poor. The rich will always get away; with money they can buy safety from nature’s fury too.
