Mani irke but Money illya, Money irke but Mani illya

As you can guess from the title or if you don't know kunjum tamil, then let me tell you this simple yet always true lines written above..

In tamil language, mani means time and you all will be aware of money, as I think. :-p
Anyways, both mani pronunces same for tamilians or for anyone knowing and speaking tamil language like me. :-)

So, the meaning of this heading in hindi goes as, "When there is plenty of time to spend, there is no money and when there is enough money to spend, there is no time to spend it freely."

And, if you think over this small one liner, you'll get that this line is as much true that it may be considered as an Universal Truth.
In today's fast world, everyone's busy in making money and to make money, one have to work hard. Really hard. And when one starts working hard, one has got no time for others. Even for spending that hard earned money !!

So as we, the students at the time of studying, have plenty of time to spend except studying :-p
But, we haven't any money to spend for. We have many expectations, many ideas, many things to spend on. Don't divert your senses to those injurious to health products or don't think that i'm talking about them. There are many other things to spend on, many quintessential things though..

And it has been rightly said that, the resources available on Earth are enough to fulfill the needs of all, but even this universe isn't having enough resources for fulfilling the greed of all. And at this age of new adolescence, one has new desires, new perspective of seeing the world, new friends, new boudaryless life style. And to cope up with this world moving at fast pace, one has to adopt to the life style of the upper class people because now a days, one only cares for them who show some attention towards themselves and to show some attention, there is again the need of showing off. Yup, showing off has become the latest vogue. To show off, one needs to be branded. i.e. from top to bottom, starting from, Reebok, NIKE, adidas, Lee, dENiZEN, UCB, JOCKEY etc. are needed to be covering the whole body, or atleast some sensitive parts of the body. :-p

So, fulfilling all these dreams, ideas and most importantly, to gain a social status, we need ample amount of money which is always less compared to the monthly bound pocket money given by home, by parents or guardian. One is left with two choices, first is to take a steep side telling your heart that, the Grape is ripe. Or, one will try to manage that much money to afford these brands as they are the brands, everyone looks upon. Everyone talks in terms of brands. "Oh, you've got killer jeans, look at my new mufti jeans dude !!", "oh, look he has come wearing rupa under garments :-O ", etc..

So, what was I trying to say that when at this age, when we've got enough time to show off ourselves as the coolest dude in the town, we don't have that much amount. And when we all start earning money in atleast 5 digits, doing reputed jobs, we don't get time to spend these all, or to say, we don't have anyone with us to show off or to show our brand new jeans, shirt or clothes, gadgets becoz by that time, every near and dear friend becomes busy in their own life, with their own wife.. :-p

I hope that now, you've understood the meaning of the heading.

But, I would like to rectify all of you including myself, that what i was thinking till now (that my heading was almost a Universal Truth) was not at all correct.
While discussing this topic with one of my best friend, I got a totally different view and a different perspective and that shook my head completely.

It was being said that, there is nothing like when one have money, they have no time to spend it all. But instead, there is a big problem in the management.
When, there is time and there is not so much money; Money management is required. Whereas, when there is lack of time despite having ample amount of money, one needs a proper Time management.
So, in total, it's all about management.

And, thus it is concluded that if one's still stuck with the topic, he/she is just avoiding the reality or is incapable of doing the management properly. :-)
