I belonged to very good family (financially) ............but there was a time when papa ji has invested a lot of rupees in a business which did not do well at all..........and we suffered the worst time of our life................A person like me who never understood the value of money was spending so much even at that time.............someone has aptly said that it's very difficult to get rid of your habits...........As usual I purchased greetings and gift for all the class......and distributed among them..................and was not understanding the situation family is going through.....................Parents were giving us pocket money (but not willingly, under my behaviour especially that why you are not giving me money? everyone is spending so much and when papa has done wrong why i suffer? ...............was my favourite line) Was not able to get admission in MBBS though cleared the PMT test............was not able to go abroad with friends..........and these things were making me completely against my parents.................especially papa ji.............My younger brother was also getting the same amount of money from them as pocket money............but he never spend that on anything..............and even i was so busy...........i have never care at that time that what he was doing with that money till one day when i was finding something and found a lot of money from the cupboard seems like someone is keeping all that money for atleast last 1 year...............I came to mamma, papa and told them about the money................they also checked and were shocked that they have not put all that there...........I was also confused a lot.........then i questioned my brother...........he told us.........He is saving all this money so that one day he can help papa ji with this money financially so that we will have same reputation again....same life again and papa ji will give me bullet motorcycle as gift..............I was utterly shocked, helpless and thinking how could i wasted so much money? without even thinking that wasting so easy and saving is so hard.................and here is my brother who is saving every penny he is getting ..............I thanked him for teaching me my life's biggest lesson.............but then he told all of us another secret that half of this money belongs to me.............I said how? he said "You were so much willing to have money daily and never cared really where you are putting that, many a times aunty ji (the lady who washed clothes at home) has given me the money from your clothes knowing exactly what i am doing with that money, many a times i have got money from everywhere.......from your books, from your magazines from everywhere.........I was speechless..................and told him that i m promising today.......I will not waste money at least.............well after some time conditions become favourable but life taught me one of the bigget lesson...................my bro was my teacher..............real guide.....................
