Sabse vadda rupaiyya

Recipe for disaster:

Humans of different characters/personalities - 9
Some real psychos/crackpots - 1 is enough, but more the number, larger the explosion
Friendship - Few kilograms
Camaraderie - Lots of it

Wait a sec I thought this recipe is turning into a yummy recipe. Hehe, a potent ingredient is missing

Money conflict - One drop is more than enough

and Boom!!! there goes the entire kitchen up in flames.

Its been only about 3 weeks out here and its disappointing and disgusting to find people squabbling. More than people squabbling, its the fights between friends that disturbs me the most. And the amount of money involved is not that significant. Don't know if thats the 'American Money mindededness' that my fellow indians are getting polluted with, or maybe they are just an exception and I am reading just too much into it. Whatever the case be, the frenzy it has caused is really not worth it.

I am of the opinion that if you can "purchase" peace of mind, you really shouldn't think twice before buying it. Oh! how badly I miss my friends back home where money was the last thing on our minds, in fact it wasn't there at all.

So thats the simplest and quickest recipe for a disaster. If you wanna see the friendship bridges go up in flames in one sec without an atomic bomb being dropped on them, the above mentioned recipe should work well. The sad part is, theses bridges cant be rebuilt at all, no matter how strong the original construction was.

@pappul: Thankfully mere saath nahi hua.....Public idhar paisa paisa kaafi karta hai re, aisa observe kiya main. I just hope yeh ek exception hai.

@mohsin: Dunno if its frustration, but seems like US has impacted these guys in more ways than one.

May be it's because we spend in USD here. Back home, 50 bucks wasn't a great deal between friends but 1 dollar sure is! Thank god we have billmonk and buxfer! :)

@Sanket:Well, I guess, with "real" friends, the currency should not really matter. Should it?
