"Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away. "

- Money (Waters)


There is an event happening, and just when we thought everything was going well, guess who barged in to spoil the party.... MONEY!

Initially, we had none. We were desperate, we were a good 25k short! And then, one fine day, suddenly 50k lands on our lap. Now, we just don't know what to do!

Why the hell is money so important in our lives? Do we have to live our lives, the slaves to pieces of printed paper? Is this what the earth moves around the sun for? One more day, in quest of the bill.
As a school boy, I always dreamt of a life not governed by money. I really thank my parents and school in this regard. They did a great job in shielding, and more importantly, introducing us to a life where 'cash' was a word, more than a force controlling our lives. I guess that was innocence!

I am really sick of money. I know it is important, and yes, as long as I live in this system, it will be governing my life. I want it. I want a job that pays me well. I want to have those wads of papers sticking out of my wallet. I want to take the girl I like so much to a movie, to a play, to dinner, or probably, pongal for breakfast! But, will my whole life be like this?
Somewhere, deep in the trenches of my heart, there is still that little belief, fighting for existence. The little things, that is shouting, trying to make me see beyond that Gandhi! One day, I'm going to find this world; a world where it doesn't matter who has a six-digit pay, a world where noone cares about how much that car costs...
I guess, I'm just in quest of that innocence that we lost somewhere along the way.....
