Whatsoever happened to the movies that I was watching with loads of fun with 20 bucks in my pocket?
The question is not whether I can afford it.The question is whether I was happy after it.
· I could have spent money on balloons for street kids, played with them on the beach.
· I could have given this to WWF and participated with them for an awareness/conservation of turtles at Kottivakkam beach.
· I could have bought a good book; I would have cherished reading it for at least a week.
· I could have taken a girl out for dinner at the beach restaurant and make her feel special. I would have felt good that I made somebody’s day.

Well, there are so many things that I could have done with six hundred bucks rather than going to this fateful movie. I hated it.
· I hated the story.
· I hated that women in the movie were made sexy and flashy and expose unnecessarily. Sensuality is ugly when there is no artistic sensibility.
· I hated sandwich because it was cold, mayonnaise had turned sour and it was tasteless.
· I hated to pay 45 bucks for a coke which is otherwise 10 bucks
· I hated the ugly and showy make up of girls at the mall.

There are so many things that money can’t buy – We better should realize it sooner than later.
Thankful for this experience, now I know, I need not be a billionaire to have some jolly good time in life.
