Engineer's Finance

Dear Friends,

Today is World’s Friendship Day. I wish each and everyone of you a Very Happy Friendship’s Day. I have got great friends throughout my life and I owe a lot to each of them. Each and every friend of mine have taught something special to me and with the help of it, I have made great progress in life. Though these days I am not in touch with my good friends. Their memories are always with me. I miss my friends dearly. I can quote millions of reasons for not being in touch with them, but honestly I regret for doing it. Life teaches you lessons in a hard way and I agree completely with it. When all my friends were around me, I did not think much about them and now when I stand all alone, I feel the pain. It is very hard to explain what I am going through.

My friends are great. They were with me when I badly needed them. I did not contact them earlier nor was I in touch with them. When they knew I was in trouble, they came to help me and they did help me in a great way. They are really very sweet. This is FRIENDSHIP. I will always stand by them to support them.

I learnt many things from my friends, I wish to list few of them. They are:

1. Smart working: My friends always taught me how to work smart. We were supposed to be the cream of class (High School). I was hard working (dumb) and my friends were working smart. They never hid things to themselves. They learnt it and taught me as well so that I can also be smart just like them.

2. Compassionate: I never knew to be compassionate towards anyone. I was brought up in such a manner. They changed the whole equation. They taught me how to see things in a different perspective without which I wont have been what I am today.

3. Life Rocked: It was a great fun being with my friends. We used to have a ball of time. We never knew how time moved. We just did not have enough time when we were together. We did not have any money, still we had no issues. We used to talk everything on earth. We had such great fun.

4. Watching Movies: I love watching movies and this is due to my friends. I was not a movie freak. But the whole thing changed. I guess you tend to become more or less what your friends are. I started watching all kinds of movies with them. It was one of the greatest moments in my life which I cherish every now and then.

5. Games: I have played everyday when I was in School. Life was so much filled with games. These days I hardly play. The kid in me has died. Whenever I meet my friends I do play, they make sure that kid in me becomes alive. I have had loads of fun.

The list goes on and on…

Life is beautiful with friends around. Not everyone is as lucky as me to have great friends. My friends are great.

Happy Friendship day. Have a great time friend. Wherever you are, I will always be with you. A poem that I found for you my dear friend.

A Simple Thank-You, My Friend
by warmhrt
Into the dim lit, bare walls of my world,
You entered, bringing light and life to me,
The vivid colors, painted with a swirl
Of wit and charm, of personality,
With tender care, you added comfort, warmth,
And images that line the now bright walls.
I look upon them fondly, bringing forth
A thankfulness that you walk in these halls
With me; our friendship has become a part
Of my world now; it has its special place,
Within my being, life, and in my heart,
Your name hangs right beside your smiling face.
Rememb’ring just how drab these walls had been,
I have to thank you for the light, my friend.

I was just thinking what would I do after getting Crores of Rupees.. If I am addicted to money so much then I would think of making Crores to tens of Crores or even hundreds of Crores. If I am not addicted then I might just think of enjoying life and doing what I love. Now the question is, how to enjoy life and what do I love to do? I am confused. I don’t know the answer for either.

The chase for money and luxuries is fine for now, but when I am done with it, what should I be doing? Life is so damn complicated. It does not give me any answer that I seek. It frustrates me. But I guess I have enough time to figure it out myself :).

After all Money is not everything in LIFE. We got just 60-70 years to live in this damn planet. That means for a software guy life is just 3k-4k weekends. I am sure we can enjoy about 2.5k weekends. Thats it not more than that. Our life is only weekends. Weekdays sucks. Accept it. Fact of life. To enjoy 2.5k weekends we are going to mess up 30-40 years of week days. Honestly this is not life. It is gonna be boring if we don’t make up enough money ASAP and start leading life to get happiness. Don’t Screw up 30-40 years. Screw up a maximum of 10 years to lead the rest of your life peacefully and not chasing money. This is what I have decided to do and am in process of doing it. Lets see how it goes. I have completed just 100 weekends of life as of now as a software guy. Rest is unknown and hope its bright.
