Money rules, but how? A contemplative piece by Susi …
So, you think money is at the root of all evil? You know what they say about clichés – like bumholes, everyone has got one. It’s a phrase that you say when it’s not really been thought through.
I would offer a different view. The bad intentionbehind the use of money is the root of all evil.
Think about it.
Money isn’t all bad. If it was, why would we be trying so hard to make it or get it? First and foremost – it’s for our survival! We do happen to live in a society where money is required to buy the bare necessities. Whether it’s to pay rent or a mortgage for shelter, money for food when we’re hungry or the doctor when we’re sick; these things need to be paid for. Money IS what meets those needs. And money gives us a small amount of…

I spoke, but you did not listen Why this silent altercation? I’m not guilty of offending you Why the fazed agitation? You did not plant flying dreams in me Why this jittery murmuration? I’d rather not mention my aspirations lest it sparks - a conflagration? You never really belonged to me why do I fear … Continue reading In Denial (Translated from Hindi)

“I like to dress in classic styles. It is safer to err on the conservative side.” “Classic is not vintage, but something that has stood the test of time.” “How does it matter?” “Wear what suits your personality to the tee, and becomes a part of you. It will go on to become to classic … Continue reading Classics
The meek shall inherit the Earth. It was meant to encourage certain personality traits. In my view, the average will, because going by the Law of Averages, they balance out extremes. The concept of ‘likeability’ actually boils down to being similar to others. Extremes of any kind, or even the different ones are quickly rejected, … Continue reading Genius or Idiot?

“So you think money is at the root of all evil… “
Well just yesterday I encountered a few road side Romeo’s eve teasing a lonely girl walking down the street.
She was helpless.
Afraid to react to their catcall.
Afraid that things might escalate.
She didn’t dare turn to look.
She hurried and scurried away like she had seen a ghost.
They were doing it for cheap fun, not money.
