Is it all about Money…??


One day when it was late, I went to a hotel, to have by dinner packed.
I ordered Jeera Rice, the hotel owner took the money and gave me a receipt.
After a short pause, I asked him what you are giving with the Jeera Rice,
He said 'Sagu', only a small moment passed by when the owner as though defending his recipe about to be delivered, gave me an answer which made me think only after I reached my home.

"He said if made properly, you don’t require anything to eat with it,"

When I reached home, I thought about what he said, more than just giving an answer to my question, he made an additional effort and spoke something, which came out not as a defense to his recipe, but out of the mere pride in the recipe which is made by his people.

If we go back to the times when man first started to work, he was to get some food out of his work, so that he could feed his dependents and also him.
gradually the motive to work changed, for some it was for fame, for some it was for something else but for some it was for money.
And I feel it very much true, even today.
when the quality of work done directly affected the food you EAT, man was more responsible,
now we see that work is business, the quality of his work no more directly affects his food.
Not many care about the quality of work done, do we actually deserve what we get for what we have done.

A simple example can be the difference between the Home made food and Hotel food.

Ideally there should not be much a difference between the too, but many times there is,
one does for love, while the latter 'is just a business'.

The same is the case with the politicians of the country, how does their Rozi affect their Roti.

there is something missing in us ..??

The commitment, that it affects you when you make some mistake,
you ...not your customers !!!
you ...not your neighbor !!!
you ...not your community !!!
you ...not your country !!!

It affects your "self"... it affects your inner Goodwill.
how can you sleep tight, when some one is having sleepless night because of your work.


This does not change, until the change comes from our within.

As some wise saying exists, "when a egg breaks from outside, a life ends, while when an egg breaks from within, a life begins."
