Very nice topic and indeed though-provoking. If I had only two rupees/pennies left with me, I would buy a lottery ticket with one and a plant with the other. ;)

Sounds like a ridiculous choice isn't it?? But I read somewhere that most lottery winners who hit a big jackpot were the ones who bought the ticket with the very last dollar they had left, so I wish to take that chance! :P

As regards the choice of plant, in the event I don't get the lottery, I can produce saplings from that plant to sell and earn a living somehow!! :)

LOL, thats great ! One should take chances in life and there is always the possibility that it would pay off...I too have read about so many people winning the lottery spending their last dollar, or winning the jackpot at casinos...If one has imagination and is willing to work hard there is no difficulty in making a living :)

In the time when everyone is running after their dreams of a big life this question is worth giving a thought. We have become a part of the rat race and forgotten the very essence of life. Life is having time for yourself and indulging in the beauty of nature at least once in a while, experiencing the joy in the little things around and being at peace with your body and soul.

Thats true, but if one makes a conscious effort it is easy to rectify that and add quality to ones life.It does not need money or any great effort to do that..

I can relate to that easily!!! I gave up a good well-paying job and yet people wonder how we can be so happy!! The truth is I can SEE the joys filled in my home with a little terrace full of flowers, my home painted all on inside by my son's artworks etc. So it actually depends on how you perceive life and not with how much money you can count in your pockets!

Very true ! I too feel that money can only do so much and the rest is in your hands....and certain joys of life are never related to money, watching your children grow up and being there for them compensates for everything else , there is no other joy greater than that ...

Sometimes a Rs. 2 can make you earn millions. On the other hand, you may feel embarrass infront of the seller due to Rs.2 less in your pocket. I will go to temple and worship God and donate Rs. 2 to the Brahmin.

Well of course each on to his own, but what do you after that ? I doubt if God or the Brahmin is going to reward anyone who donates, we have to look after ourselves and our needs ...

If I had left with only two pennies I will try to start some work to make more money.
