how i never get around to the word RICH…
Three years into residency and going by my salary standards I should be having 18 lakhs in my account but one look at my online account and it has a different story to tell …. I ask my self who exactly is responsible for my depleted finances … by all means the first ones to be blamed are my mother and my best friend . My mother is a typical Indian mother … not to forget middle class .. ive heard that word a million times mostly in context of how hard my father works to make a living…… its stereotypically melodramatic straight out of the daily star tv soaps and I imagine my family to be refugees from Bangladesh in dire need which is enough to emotionally blackmail to the extent that I give my mom a signed blank chequebook and the rest is history ………

About my best friend .. she believes in sisterhood . Her theory ….. an I phone is not much damage if I buy it with her and somehow it’s a whole lot affordable even if that means im in debt for the rest of the year . she loves the feeling of I owing her money as It gives her sadistic side a pure sense of pleasure .. Her defence … she is responsible for my fashion statement .as all .. my high end bags , shoes and the parapherenlia that im complimented for are a result for her excellent convincing skills as to how spending a little more doesn’t hurt if done together.
According to my friend “my life is wonderful and everything calls for a treat”. A little about my life … im a doctor working in a govt hospital which is a constant battle …. The patients are sick which I can handle but to add fuel to fire are morons .. that’s kind of mentally challenging . I just finished paying my car loan and somehow am paying the homeloan for A HOUSE THAT I DON’T OWN ….( Take note of the signed blank cheque book ) . My marriage prospects haven’t worked so far and im on the wrong side of what is the right marriageable age by Indian standards and might need an amniocentesis . Im pursuing my postgraduation in internal medicine and the exit exam is a tough bet …. The theory part is wat ive just taken and the results are awaited … My friend s version ….. im a physician and am learning patience …. Im responsibly helping my family, the right guy is yet to walk into my life and ive been lucky to be saved from all wrong ones , and the exam shall be passed only if I keep her happy as she has some karmic connection with God . The first three is optimism … the last one defys my intellect but superstitious as I am to not annoy the gods messenger explains my below poverty line status!!!
