Money Talks

She's got her arms around you. The evil glint in your eyes.
She teases you with her scent. Gives you wings to fly..
But let me ask you, foolish friend.. Your price to lie?

Money Money Money.. Its a rich man's world.
Where does it begin, where does it end?
Is it greedy to ask for more on your payslip? Is it ungrateful to measure everything in clinking pennies and crackling notes?

here's my take on this.
With appraisal time done with and most of us counting whether the employer took care of another 20% costs to custom made dresses and sinful drinks.. its money thats ruling the roost. And why not? Hard work demands the best rewards. But here's the deal. Common corporate statistics will tell you that in any team of 10, about 5 will be goofing off, 3 will be almost sincere and 2 will be bright as hell. but what will the poor boss burdened with this decision do. find a median!! Thats where you and me (the bright ones :) ) get bulldozed!
But we are young and in a time which promises a lifetime of learning and prosperity even if the major hikes don't happen. So it all evens out.

So what the hell am i nagging about you'd ask.

Well. its still about the money.

Money is not only predominant in agonies over appraisals. It is also a yardstick for suitors to rate a lovely mate. (Pls keep my Neil out of this.He would love me if i had only a rag dress)
I'm talking about many Misters who feel or make others feel their hollowness by talking about marriage as prizes.

Mr. Man: Arre, i landed a great chick
XYZ: (whatever) Really, i am so happy!
Mr. Man: Yeah the family is rich too! in fact the dad owns the ...

and if its not Mr. Man and his type gloating about 'deals' made, its the lonely idiot who still feels that the girl with 60 lacs will come along.

Note to mr. lonely- Pls get the point. Compensation = monetary benefits which are paid on worth estimated. Pls do not make it abt the money. its chiii!

So in essence.
Money talks. but hey! don't bite!!
