how much pocket money?

Problem of almost every teenager!!!!

So in India, Parents are very conservative towards MONEY. here, I'm talking about Middle-class families like mine. Not, the richer people😝. So, every time we have to apply Makhan ( Butter ) to our parents to lend us some money. As soon as, we use this trick our parents understand come with a big hefty question-

Why do you need so much money?

Trust me, I feel this question more difficult than my entire Engineering Mathematics book😂.
Back then, we need that money for such little & innocent things. for me, it was all about buying a packet of Rs. 5 uncle chips and some fancy icecream or some cheap plastic toy. The best shot was to buy a premium Bayblade but that seems next to impossible task to me.

I still Remember......

My parents & I were in the market. Immediately my eyes got stuck on a Remote control racing car. I was like:-

Yar ye ho life me to kya sahi hoga 😍  (Unknowingly I got a huge smile on my face while typing this😄 )

It was a month of march. I asked my father can we buy this Toy?
Ans:- If you secure the First rank in class we will buy that toy.


And, 9 years old me was like " Yar, ab ye Kaise Hoga😓😓". And, I secured 1st position in my class. After coming from school my first question to my father was

"Papa kab chaloge market gaadi lene"

My father doesn't even remember the bet at that time. (See, how professional our parents were back then😌). My father still shares this story in Family gatherings.

Patent Dialogue

So this mighty dialogue is heard by every person on this Earth(especially Indians 😅😅)

"Beta Paisa kamana koi Aasan Kam nahi hai. 

Jab tum kamaoge tab pta chalega.

Paise pedh pe nai lagte  "

( Although till class 5 I thought money plant has leaves of money 😆😆😆)

And we Grew Up.....

 Cut to... When I left my home for the first time. I still remember my father saying

 " Beta 6000 dal diye hai tere account me kam lage to bta dena or dal denge bad me"

For the first time in my life, I said No! to my father who offered me  morem . You see, this is what life is. Right from beginning, we have tantrums that why can't they give us more money or how less is my pocket money. And when we got the opportunity we simply said NO!

That day, I thought all this time I was asking so many things but now when he offered me more I couldn't even asked for 10 more money. Still, every month my father asks me- Do you want some more money & most of the time I say No ( until something big digs a hole in my pocket).

Many of us still don't ask for more money & when some of my friends share such thing to me I feel proud that we all are getting responsible day by day.

Love your parents more then anything in this World. Because they are your World.
