He who has the most when he dies , wins ...
-------------------------------------------

I dont know who said it, but its quite likely that he had a Masters in Business Administration ... God knows I am not a leftist ... In fact if my political views were to be expressed at all, I would rather prefer the words "Hardcore right wing maniac" ...
Neways the reason I am in deep thought about my socio economic factors is
a discussion I had with my boss earlier this morning ... He asked me if I was travel ready ... Given that everything I own is in 2 medium sized bags and one laptop bag stashed away in my cupboard at the guest house, I am probably the most travel ready person ever...But seriously after 4 years of working like a dog I have nothing to show for..
Here ..I will give you an inventory list of all my belongings

1. Clothes - 2 bags Inspite of what people think, I think I am not doing so bad on this front .. Have a decent mix of Formal and informal attire.. and some stuff which can be categorised under miscelleneous ...

2. Shoes - 4 Pairs.. Would have been 3 , but I was forced to buy a new pair...Personally I dont see any reason for an individual to own more than 2 pairs ...

3. Laptop - 1... Not worth much now that its a year old , but I have stuff in it people would give an arm and a leg for ;-)

4. Palmtop - 1... I did manage to smash it against the pavement, but the MP3 player in it is still working.. hence havent thrown it .. yet ..

5. Digital Camera - 1... Havent used it in years ... Would have given it to my sis , but she wont take it coz its too outdated now !!! Its a frikkin 5 MP 6X optical zoom Yashika ... But apprently its not "Cool" enough..

6. Glenfmorangie 12 year - 0.25 ... My most prized posession ... unfortunately Scotch isnt exactly a consumer durable product ...

7. Wrist watch - 1 ... I love my watch .. Its a ESPRIT chronograph ... looks a lot more expensive than it actually is...

8. Shaving Kit - 1... I think I need to get a new razor though .. I bought it in england .. which was almost 2 years ago ... No wonder every time I shave , people think Ive been in a fist fight ...

9. Seriously Big ass loan - 1... Now you Non MBA types must be confused as to why I am putting down my loan as an asset ... But trust me ...a loan is actually an asset .. ask any accountant

10. Mobile Cellular phone - 1 .. Like I mentioned before .. Its an antique 7110... It doesnt even have a camera ... I know... I am a caveman..

That ladies and gentlemen is all I have collected in the last 26 years of my existance ...
Now compare this with my my peers -

G - Owns a seriously wicked place with 12 tonnes of centrally installed airconditioning, wears Armani and Hugo Boss , talks on a Nokia Communicator, is thinking of buying a second car , and has 24 litres of scotch ... frikking 24 litres ... Thats like two and a half buckets of liquid gold ...

Trillian - The chic has managed to fully furnish her apptt ... TV , Fridge , Washing machine, wardrobes ..everything ...Sometimes I wonder if she is collecting stuff for her dowry... And guess what.. she has Two mobile phones ...Talk about being well connected ...

P - Drives around in a Nissan Sporscar, doesnt like repeating a shirt in the same month and has enough bank balance to buy himself an island ...

Dont get me wrong , I am extremly happy for all these filthy rich bastards and congratulate them on their success in life ... After all they have arrived in life ... Me .. I am content with being also ran...
But still makes me wonder ... Where did it go wrong ???
