"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance."- Funny quotes
Someone with a fine sense of humour and incredible intelligence must have said this.And it so seems that this is not said out of mere zest. What is it then that so provoked him and wrought out of him this fine sense of common awareness?
P.C: Bodhisattwa KhanSome may very philosophically point out that you do not need money for a journey. At least not as much so as to prompt a man to write a blog on it.I certainly shall talk of my beliefs and desires. Call it luxury or recreation whatever. I shall luxuriate myself on a vacation ,gorge on good food, jump in the swimming pool and the sea or the ocean, trek across the forests and the hills, with invigorating drinks, during the trek and gulp down a couple of vodkas staring blankly at the moon that twists and churns my heart,even today, while covering her face with a veil, on the most inopportune moments!!!
P.C: Bodhisattwa KhanI shall look for fruits around,flowers, lambs,chicken,pigs,cows with great enthusiasm!!! How people cook, how people eat!!! Everything !!!
P.C.: Bodhisattwa KhanWhether Shillong,Lataguri, Puri,Takdah,or a place called home, I look and look out.Imagine a valley, all green, not a soul to gravitate towards your essence and existence and suddenly there she is!!! You sit quietly by her side!! You can or cannot say a word or words or sentences!!! Or why do you need to speak at all ? The vacuity is already filled!! Your spirit is drenched in the love she exudes!! Do you not want to visit such a place???You must!!
P.C: Bodhisattwa KhanAnd the comes the most critical question!!! For the vacation you need money! You need money to book rooms!! Your air fare or train tickets!! Your food . Your local tour packages!!You should not expect to save money from your salary to fund your leisure travels. Who is going to fund you trips then? Who else but you yourself! Paradoxical statement?Not in the least. Remember you had already been investing money in mutual funds and EQUITIES?What do they do? They are businesses my friends!! They make profit for you and give your portion of profit back in form of dividends!! The better the company in terms of profitability, the better is the amount of dividend that comes in your account. The more the number of years you stay invested in these businesses , there is greater chance of dividends coming into your account ,that far exceeds the amount you had invested in these businesses. You luxuriate in your wise decisions in years ahead of you!!!
"Live within your income and save so that you can invest.
Learn what you need to learn."
