A graduate of Fagin's Academy helped himself to it. I bought a cheaper one to replace it and am very careful when riding with the dexterous gentlemen. After learning about my loss, colleagues began confessing about their own mobile losses. I was glad they lost more than one.

That IS a long compliment from you! :)<br /><br />@Anil, Sujata, Insignia, Venu: Thanks for commenting. Money is secondary is the post. The implied emphasis is on respect for others; like Anil said, how we treat other's money is a measure of our respect to them...Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-41653075316336679042010-09-10T04:41:20.634+05:302010-09-10T04:41:20.634+05:30There are many thoughts in this writing and many m...There are many thoughts in this writing and many messages that it has for all who read it. Lessons to be learned, as well. I think we should all respect money because without it, where will we be? I find it pleasing that your son was thinking of you, his dad, that had worked hard to earn that money. Today's children/teens think they have no more to do nothing but ask or take and that mom and dad OWE it to them...Well, off my soap-box on that..I highly admire your son for the way he felt in not just taking the money or assuming..He respected you and his mom...Excellent write with many things to think about in the content..............Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311361298378439781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-19138110776226783192010-09-10T04:30:59.008+05:302010-09-10T04:30:59.008+05:301 paise short has taught you a lot.

But I do my best to save. But I am too kind and help people. They promise to return the money and they dont. I feel bad about it. Now I am careful.Insigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-62319898564714198372010-09-09T12:31:30.020+05:302010-09-09T12:31:30.020+05:30Amazing!

Just short of 1 paisa and the walk back home 6 kilometres. I’m someone who is clueless about money management. If it’s there, just go around, spend it, make merry. If it’s not, be quite, and stay back, that’s my policy. I like K’s attitude, I like it very much. <br /><br />“The way one handles money is a yardstick to his/her character too.”<br /><br />Exactly, I can’t agree more, for this is something I always tell people. I’m also some one who hardly gets the lent amount back. People simply disappear, and after a while I too tend to forget. Perhaps the only wise thing that "tedious old fool" Polonius told us would be ‘neither a borrower nor a lender be’. <br /><br />And one last thing: Kudos to the honesty with which you write!Arun Meethale Chirakkalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647424169250887847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-51912197745398678192010-09-09T06:11:21.929+05:302010-09-09T06:11:21.929+05:30I find myself uncomfortable at the thought of mone...I find myself uncomfortable at the thought of money. But things go along very smoothly. All our financial affairs are handled by the lady. For all our needs money appears at the last moment. Only magic can balance anarchy. She is knows the magic!!!<br />Balan, I too had a very similar experience to yours with the bus fare shortage for bus journey!!!P.

I have no fascinations for stuff money can buy me, for I have seen it fail very closely when my dad died inspite of everything money could do.sujata senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101153080266818022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-17271583869726856912010-09-08T18:29:38.145+05:302010-09-08T18:29:38.145+05:30I'm of the opinion that more than the general ...I'm of the opinion that more than the general attitude towards money it is the attitude towards money that came about through another persons sweat and toil that tells one’s character.<br /><br />And only if one has spent a moment in the least, feeling the helplessness without even a nickel, will one understand the value of money.<br /><br />And I do not blame K for the comment he reserved about over hearing your monologue about ‘my money and your money’.<br /><br />As for the loss of the mobile, well he must have sensed the pain and is peeved with himself.. Hence he wants the onus of making the decision about the new handset on you.<br /><br />Good learning for all.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.com
