Money!

The Big M! Money! Of late, this most of the time rare, yet sometimes abundant commodity has been chewing newsprint. I too having invested my absoulutely small yet hard earned sum have watched the markets for hope of recovering my money back. 

All these years, I have never understood though have been totally exasperated by the 'M' factor or lack of it thereof. I do not show any inherited talent on this subject which is naturally expected from me wherever I go, being from a Gujarati community.

I grew up in an absolutely small background in Bombay, and maybe my father had too little of the M stuff to let it casually be in a boys hands.  So well I never learnt.

Of late I have been grappling with this concept and now my Design fed mind has thrown out a visualization. I see it like this; We the Humans, live on this planet and this planet is everyting we have. The planet is the pool of what we have and we are convertors. We keep converting everything, from the mud we extract food, we extract ore, and we keep converting. To no end.
