Share markets have crashed, land prices have crashed, interest rates are slashed, demand is going down, economy is going down. Everything I had is worth a lot less now. My present assets have devalued more than half. My present is devalued a lot worse than that.
But I am not worried. I have my heart which is not devalued. I have my values which haven't devalued. As long as I value my heart, I value my values there is nothing important that can get devalued.
All these crashing and slashing and bashing has shaken my mind immersed in sluggish luxuries. From the mist of inert abundance a lot of memories surfaced. I remembered the cheap vendor in our university campus who used to serve great egg bhurjee at 2 or 3 am. That old old taste started watering my mouth. I compared it with the five course dinner I had yesterday at the exclusive restaurant. They stood matched. my morale got a boost. Even if GM wouldn't get a bail-out in US, even if world auto industry takes a sharp dip, even if my business goes for a rest, even if all my assests are no more any asset, I still can have a great meal!
I closed the Economic Herald in front of me, I switched off mobile phone and businees news on TV. I called up my secretary to tell her that I will be 'occupied' for some lengthy time. I stretched my legs and closed my eyes. I felt like a broad smile is appearing on my face and its still glowing and growing.
Excuse me, I will tell you more when the smile lets me . . . . . . . . .
