Lessons from Tough times.

While tough and extremely tough times take a long while to go away, they do leave a lot of learning's. Some of what i have learned :

  • You learn how to best make use of your finances. The credit card of course is your best friend in these trying times.
  • You suddenly realize that fuel is more costly than it has even been. A thousand rupees seem to get you less of gasoline than it did when you had enough moolah at hand.
  • You realize that your friend list seems to shrink everyday, this is the best time to say good-bye to most of them, they were not worth it anyways.
  • The electricity bill seems to be more than ever before and seems to come at too quick a frequency.
  • Eggs and not pizza is the best food ever created.
  • Suddenly your entire set of relatives want a job in your organisation, if not that, nearly all have something to do with the organisation that you just quit.
  • The electricity pole just outside your house seems to have developed a fascination for your car and seems to move just as to hit it while you are engaging the reverse gear.
  • The bathroom sink and electricity fitting suddenly give up and you realise that inflation has actually increased when you pay a huge amount to the friendly neighbourhood electrician.
  • All your younger relatives seems to get married at this time only and your family wants them to given the most expensive gifts.
  • Every meeting or party that you attend has to be in Gurgaon, if you are living in Noida.
