Timeless lesson on wealth

A well-known Scottish proverb, " The father buys, the son builds, the grandchild sells, and his son begs" , is undeniably a timeless lesson about wealth, family fortunes, and even financial discipline.  This age-old saying reflects how wealth collected by one generation can gradually disappear when later generations fail to keep, manage or grow it.  This can be directly correct in view of that country's experience. Such a marked disposition does not appear in India if we try to analyse it. There are so many instances in our great country where the careless son wastes all the wealth of his father. He even fails to show the same dexterity just to maintain his father's wealth.  Here the Sanskrit proverb seems to immediately apply. It points out plainly that wealth slips from one hand to another in just a long period of twelve years. Some mighty minds do not hesitate to say that the capability of the next generation holds the family wealth with all the glory. Therefore, i...

Master & manager face similar fate



What a coincidence! First, the master met with a hairline fracture in one of his legs owing to the sudden drop of the heavier motorcycle upon him.

Later, his trusted and obedient manager faced a similar fate as his hand was badly bruised when his bike skidded on the empty wide road.

This was certainly unfortunate for them. How could the manager remain safe if his master was bedridden owing to the injury? 

The manager was badly injured due to a late-night, unfortunate accident. His pain troubled him beyond his power of bearing at the intensely critical situation as his weak and aged master had been undergoing 

Though the master was bedridden, he did not exhibit pretentiousness by resting from his normal daily routine at the office. 

As his master was enjoying complete rest, the manager did not take one day off from his usually normal duty. 

Sunday, being a weekly off day, was enough time for him to take a complete rest. That is why he always remains in his master's good book.  

What was surprising at this critical time was that his bulging stomach was intact before the unfortunate accident. Despite his direct accident, he did not feel uneasy in enjoying the free iced water bottle at the gate.

The master and the manager are relatively both inter-dependent. If the master got his hairy fracture in one leg, cured in a fixed time, the manager is yet to fully recover.  

Though there was a complete difference in the date of accidents. Both were wounded by the bike. 

The master was said to have been hurt and had fractured his leg, and the bulging manager slipped while saving the dog on the road. Some critics link this harm simply because of the black man's curse. 

Whatever it may be, both suffered intensely. The master, at this time, has recovered, but the minion has yet to recover completely.
