Life is a 50 Rupee note at 8pm




Chapter 1.An Old Fainted Women.

It was a sunny day during my college days in Mysore.I used to have my food in a Mallu Mess.Food was amazing and everyone used to come there for the grand sunday meal.Its worth for a non vegetarian and the mess holders were humble and gentle.I would always pay the mess bill 2 months late...It happened once when i was back from college(NIE College) to mess .I saw an old lady fainted/fallen near to the mess.I stopped by there and tried to help her.I droped a 10 rupee note for her to have food and left the place.But my heart was still there.I came to mess,took some Chapathis(It was excellent Chapathis made by mess Uncle) and some water and left back.I was surprised to see that lady was so weak and unconcious,10 rupee was lying on the road.I took it again and gave it her hand.Gave the water and food and left...
After few days,i told this incident to my mother,She blasted me telling these things are common and there are other people to help them.Do not repeat such things again in life.I didnt understand her.my father appreciated my deed and told i have done a wonderful thing and to keep it up...Whom can i blame here,My mother?...Or should i be happy with wat my father told? Read on.....the next chapter.

Chapter 2.A Deputy Manager of PowerGrid

It was a nice day in Mysore.Mysore is a place for peace and trees.I was waiting for a hair cut in front of a cutting shop.Soon i met a gentle man with his son.He started intro-ing himself to me while his son was having his hair cut.son was in 6th Grade.In few mins,i came to know the person.He was from Uttarpradesh and working as a deputy manager in PowerGrid,a central government electric company which deals with 4 mega watts.He even showed me his name,Id card,his designation.He was a Deputy manager in there,very much true.Great......In life,its always good to meet people in such positions.It was a nice talking with him.while we both were having this pop corn,a person passed by begging.This great person dropped a 5 rupee coin to him.I don remember exactly.I didnt even bother to give the begging person any coin,but i felt the deputy manager a gentle man...Ofcourse he is.read on.Soon days passed,it was almost 2 weeks.I never saw him.But one bad morning i saw this gentle man moving in a bike.I just waved him.he made me to stop and he asked for a favour.His mother in law met with an heart attack and his wife has left to uttarpradesh with the atm card,money...etc.He asked me whether i can lend him 2000 rupees so than he will return it in a week soon after his wife comes back.I felt the situation.I wanted to help him.Took him to ATM and lended him 1000 rupees as my help.I didnt even bother to give my number to him nor take his number thinking that he will get in touch again.Times passed,days passed,weeks passed...My patience also passed.I never saw him.But suddenly i remembered his kid's friend studing in a same school.I asked him to get his cell number to me.That kid got me the number.I tried calling,no response,out of reach,switched off...his family the call twice,but didnt give a good response thinking that its a prank call.Later they spoke and i asked for the Deputy manager.Still i didnt tell the 1000 rupee case to his family because i dont want to do that.They said father is in hassan and he will return during weekends.I tried asking for him every week..Time passed.These are common scenarios wat we don expect.months passed by,By than it was 6th month.I almost lost my hope and 1000 rupees is a valuable money for me because i was earning very less at that time.For name i was a BE graduate.PowerGrid was near to my office,once i went there to enquire about this matter and came to know this person was a Deputy manager of the Power grid 2 years back and presently working as a deputy manager of hassan Powergrid...i was horrified..I dropped the idea of this money......Later i just left this issue.....Can you trust the Deputy manager?...Can you trust a man who act like a gentle man?

Chapter 3.A Marati Family and a 50 rupee note.

It was a warm night,i was on my way to meet my best friend named Kiran(Dinga).He was leaving India for his Further studies.It happened in BTM layout,4 persons troop came to me and asked me whether i know marati,hindi..I just ignored them because i have already gone through such situtations of getting fooled.my friend later joined me and we were having fun talk.This troop came again to my friend and asked the same with him.He started speaking to them.They explained there problem,Some person from Hydrabad bought them here and made them to work and finally betrayed them without giving money.They are helpless with no money,no food.There were 2 small kids,his wife looking innocent.I gave a 50 rupee note to the lady for food thinking her husband may use it for drinking.My friend gave some money for her husband for a drink..We were happy that we helped a family with some food.Later we reached one of our friends room(Joge Uday,Asif Pasha).We told them the situation and our friends repeated the exact dialogues what they told...Lol.....laughing....I returned back to my home in Old airport road that day after a party.I told this to my another friend,even he started the dialogue..I told him to stop...fooled...I will add the dialogue after recording it from my friend.

Chapter 2.A kannadiga and his 97 thousand.

I was on my way to Residency road from Richmond road.It was 8pm late,i was going to Wild Spice,a tasty authentic style Coorg Restuarant to eat pork.I was on phone with my friend and walking the way to reach the wild spice.A person stopped me asking for a Mysore Road.I explained him how to reach the bus stop..Soon after that he asked me whether i know Kannada.His English was extraordinaly.Seems like he is a Good educated person.He came to know i was a kannadiga and started telling his junk stories.I am an experienced person in these matter and told him just to move on.But soon after he came to know that i was a different person,He started speaking in a hard voice,a little rudely started explaing his problem.Some car driver fooled him taking his 97k which he had bought for some work here.He wanted to call his mother,she s 65 and his wife is at home.he don wanna do that.None of the rent cars came to him,all were prepaid.He need 88 rupees to reach his home at Kuvempunagar in Mysore.he started acting weirdly and rudely.At that movement i just wanted to escape from the dark place.I just gave him 50 note and left the place safely.

Conclusion

I guess you understood some things from me..Let me explain..Help a person who is physically handicaped or aged.Help a kid for his school fees...Don show ur heart to everyone because they don need ur heart.

1.Dont show ur heart to a stranger..There is no need in it.Helping is great..But not good everywhere everytime..
2.Every man who is a educated deputy manager is not a gentleman.Every man who gives money to a beggar do not have a great heart.
3.Treating an lady is not good everytime.Women are greatest actors.Don show courtesy to women else you will get cheated.
4.Sometimes life is dangerous at 8pm.So just give a 50 rupee note and get away...When u are passing by hell,Keep walking.Don ever speak to any stranger in ur life..When you walk alone in lonely places are late hours,take care of yourself,your ATM cards and your Life.Don be fooled like me..



If you ever get fooled like this.....Think.."I never got fooled by money.I just payed to learn how i can get fooled."...
