Money Hai toh Honey Hai.


Switch on the TV. Flip over on the couch. Run through channels. Stop on MTV. Splitsvilla is going on. My thought process, quote "Idiotic reality show with girls and guys jumping over each other. Fame and money can make people do anything." Watch for 5 minutes. Switch off the TV. Walk towards the bedroom and think of doing something more useful in life.

Shoot. Those thoughts were not erased off my mind, so soon. Ensuing on those very thoughts, I continued...
Today, Maal, signifies the correspondence of both the stuff which people crave for: Money and Honey.


The living that each one conducts, these days has gone for a toss, with a new routine:

If earlier, it was-

Slog- Work your ass off- Get Paid peanuts- Save however much possible- Arranged marriage in 20's- Build a neo-middle class family by your late 40's.

Now, it's become-
Start working early- Use and Reuse Media- Build contacts- Work for a short period- Centralize Fame and Money around you- Marriage if necessary, or flirting is as healthy.

Kidding.
But, however much Indians deny the fact of dowry and money-inclined marriages, the fact still remains that, unless the boy as well as the girl rake in a good amount of moolhas as their CTC, they hardly stand a chance to woo his/her prospective spouse.

(I mean a well qualified and favored one.)

You think this is wrong?
Well, I don’t. Each individual is concerned about his/ her future which revolves in and around those "saath pheras", then why not make the right choice?

But what disgusts me, is the line, beyond which people are ready to fall these days, in order to claim the plane to attain both, Money and Honey.
So, next time that a guy or a girl comes up to talk to you after checking out your Mercedes A class or your Zara outfit, it is not you who attracts the other person. It is that particular material you own.

Beware. The trap is spread. Period.

Summertime Sadness.

No!

 
If you feel this post is in anyway connected to the beautiful song by Lana Del Ray, you're highly mistaken. For, this is just another post where I'm going to rant about some topic. This time, the topic being: SUMMER.

Everyone is aware that Summer's begun when:

1. Every other kid in the colony is shouting out their friend's name to call him downstairs to play 'cause it is Vacation. (More so, cause there is plenty of time to enjoy only until results.)

2. The stock of watermelon in your fridge never seems to cease 'cause fresh stock is made available by your mom as frequently as possible.

3. Yoghurt or Curd is a must have each day.

4. Every other person around you is flaunting their glares irrespective whether the Ray Ban on it is fake or real.

5. Suddenly Mumbaikar women have taken up the cue from Puneri women to scarf up not showing a bit of "however made up" their face is.

6. When all of a sudden, the roadside Nimbu Pani wala turns your best friend a.k.a thirst savior.

7. When you switch your AC on at night after a long tiresome day at 18 degree Celsius along with the fan running at full speed. Albeit all this, you sweat and grumble in the middle of the night about Mumbai's humidity and summer.

8. When you feel like roaming around in your shorts and T-shirts. I mean the chicks. Well, the guys would prefer going around naked too! :P

9. When, if you search a women's handbag, even if she has no money, she'll surely be carrying a Sunscreen with her.

10. Finally, you know it is summer when you can rant about "It being so hot" to some random stranger in the bus or your auto rickshaw driver.

Feel bleh and all, this summer.
Hope we survive Summer'14 too cause YOLO. With too much ranting.
Sad Summer y'll! :D
