Today
Scene: Bus stop. Status: Bus hadn't arrived, I wasn't tensed (very uncommon of me).
I was fiddling with a crisp 100 Rs note which I think I picked up from my purse while removing the change required for the ticket. I later saw many ppl glancing at me as if to ask "Madam, are u in ur senses?"
What i was doing was rolling the note several times, then folding it, then straightening it, stroking it. What was I preoccupied with, even I don't know.
I was thinking, "this piece of paper, this snap of Gandhi, why do ppl value this so much? it's just a piece of paper, the only difference being its a bit ornamental !"
Money!! Money!! These kinds of crispy pieces of art determine whether one is a millionaire or a pauper. This is what ppl call money!
Times !!! Ahem!! I was clearly out of my mind! But sometimes it happens !

If you find it too hard to hold can i relieve some of your burden by taking some of your money!
I don't understand how some people just hate money. I think it is a trend like rubber wristbands. I have not met anyone in my life who wouldn't do a decent job for a few thousand bucks because they hate money. Come on! We all love Gandhi so much only because we like staring at his face on a 500 buck note.
[aside] I do not like Gandhi, but hell I will take a 500 buck note if it had Osama on it [/aside]
