Friday, 28th April 2006...it was the last working day of the month and my HDFC bank website was still showing Rs.200 in my account...i was clicking the refresh button every 5 min, but to no use...6:30pm and suddenly the five digit number appears on screen and my eyes light up... and there was a big smile on my face showing all the happiness in this world, i started to feel like the king of this whole world...started to dream about hiring a Merc, sit in a beach and sip a drink with chicks playing around with me with grapes in their hand...
...Beep Beep!! and there comes a SMS from ICICI bank saying "your credit card due date is 30th April, if you havnt made the payment please make it immediately"...all my dreams are shattered and i came back to the real world...i now have to pay my ICICI on 30th, HSBC on 2nd, SCB on 4th, car loan on 7th and remaining to my home...i immediately took a pen and paper and started to do the Math of only subtraction to realise that at the end of everything i will again be left with Rs.200 :-)...
Whatever may be our income, we are still not satisfied with what we get...with increasing salaries our expenses are increasing exponentially as well...plastic money are adding to it...they are forcing us to spend more without realising how much we are spending...it really takes the month end to realise it :-)...
Sush always used to tell me that "its all about Money, Honey!!"...i think its so true...we work for whole month only for that moment of month end where our salary account shows five digit number...finally i went back home thinking "another 31 days more to go for next salary day" :-)
