'GOOD TIMES Vs 'THE BAD TIMES!'

Indian Bloggers
The young man was too proud of his achievement.. He secured the best and the highest paid job in his city.. The happiness for him was really unlimited.. Days rolled by.. 
The phone rang up continuously.. 
  • “We understand your financial needs.. Availability of sufficient money on hand is the starting point of all that graceful living!  Please do visit our Website for various schemes and facilities in this regard..”
  • “You need a fast, speedy and elegant transport to reach your work place daily in time with least strain.. Please do visit our show room to see the latest Models and have your Classic choice….”
  • “Sir! We feel that you should rise to the occasion and present yourself the best as you move constantly with High Profile Groups of your Area.. And we got exactly what suits you in this context…Please do visit us once at....”

  • “All matters settle finally in a place called Home where you stay and relax..  We, with extreme care backed by our experience in the field, carefully go through your requirements and accordingly cater for..... Call us at your convenience....” 
Fate some times will have its own way and every one is bound to accept what comes through in that context.. The young man too was no exception there.. Suddenly, he found himself in the area where the demand for the competitive skills had come down quite a bit.. There were threats to jobs, the salaries were drastically cut and naturally the economical living was the aim of the day.. There was no way other than either change the job or wait patiently for fresh demand to pick up.. 

And strangely, all phone calls too stopped in no time and direct action was on the Anvil..

At Office Lounge.. 
  • “On scrutiny, we found that you are likely to exceed your credit limit as the pending amounts were not regularly paid off.. Please pay off all the balances immediately.. Your credit worthiness is being reviewed..” 
On Road.. 
  • “The vehicle loan is pending and this vehicle need to be handed over to us right now on the spot..  Public transport stops a little away.. Leave the vehicle and take the bus….” 
At the  Mall.. 
  • “These items are not for you and those expenses cannot be borne by you any more. Please move on….” 
In the Evening..
  • “There is a cheaper place of 'Eat Out' 2 km away from here and a walk to that place is good for health and fitness....” 
At Home..
  • “The installment of your loan on your Accommodation is not paid for the last 2 months.. Please pay off the dues immediately and keep the records update.. For your information, we may have to auction the Property for the recovery of your full loan, if required..  Be prepared to vacate the place at any time in the coming days and........”

    1. Yes, Archana! This reality will never leave us at any time in our life.. The best practice here is to be constantly aware of all money related talks and equally save our finances for a rainy day! Thanks for the Comment!

  5. Sreedar ji you are valued as long as people think they can get something out of you. That is why one needs to learn to be happy in oneself - then one won't miss the pandering

    1. Does it got anything to do with good or bad times? I quite do not agree.

      After all those people are not there to pamper us, they go to individual for their need, to meet their sales targets etc. I know people who think that credit money is their own money and spend it and spending further income is not a very uncommon practice in the capitalistic economy. But it is up to us to calculate our risk and decide our exposure.

    2. I understand your observation Suman and as you said it is our own fault to get into all this mess.. But whatever, surely it is a bad time, if it happens knowingly or unknowingly as our earnings are for ever related to market supply and demand and none truly have a control on this.. We should never forget the delicate balance here existing through out our life! Thanks for the critical Comment!

  7. Sreedhar Ji, Time is beyond our control and situations too ( good or bad ). Reality is how we manage those situations. Unfortunately, most of us live the way as it goes without proper planning and struggle during tough times. This article is an eye opener and well composed. Keep sharing!!!
