Money and cultivating a 'relationship' with it..
I never understood money - all i knew i wanted it...
for what?
well ..... when it comes...i ll know...
...that was the plan.
And it came .... 15K 1st job..
...and my money was...fuel in car/bike and travel with it...
it meant treating friends who were still in college : to places.
...yet i had it saved...coz those things...dont cost much...
...actually...i dint save it...my usage of 'time' saved it..
...5-10 peeps : eating at most junky yummy punjabi dhaba...
takes surprisingly less...
work and code improved...
15K -> 30 K -> 70 -> 1L ...
this was - 2008 for me...
money...and me not doing anything with it...
had an effect on my habitus...they smelled it...
problems were there...so money solves it...
but problems on that layer : tend to repeat every year...
phones, cars, homes, investments...and vacations and page 3 dinners..
they seemed like a 'normal life'...
which required me to be liquid...
life is funny... and money is fun...
money made my relationships and 'work'...
the sacred line between the 2...became blurred and twisted like a snake..
i knew i worked with snakes...but money made snakeyness - fashionable and transparent.
Money brings out the snake in you : whatever u have..
it would be car, alkuhul or food...or vacays..or just anything....
but money overwrites the 'animal'...
the reason I shared this bleh with u ...
1 of the most important things for me : was to understand money...
and how it brings people and causes with it..
when it goes away...or illusion of it is there...
the snakes withdrew...and kind of blamed me for not being able to earn...
coz page 3 : requires show of money...
money makes page 3 society and society makes money : cumulatively
roti,kapda and makaan : is so 90s...
i realized people around me wanted : pain...glorified pain..
alkuhul : when consumed in a page 3 restaurant : brings out the snake in pure view..
puking in public is funny...and all of it is 'normal'.
the same peeps : who complained about 'pizza is too expensive'...
now complained about 'opportuninies' and luck...and even...
lack of adventure or safe upbringing...
their adventures :not in code, but who is leaning on who : after marriage...
and who is justified...
these are big problems : people are analog, which become 'digital' only for 9-5...
understanding money : and your actions when u have it..
is your nature.
1 of the many things ... most important things...
learning money.
coz if 1 learns everything else, but money...
money becomes a purpose...
the only purpose.
