    Today an old friend of mine called, Initially I thought that he called out of friendship but after talking for 2 minutes he asked me to do a favor and sent few files ,explained his requirement and asked me to develop a small integration framework for the module he is working on, out of obligation I said ok and he ended the call without much conversation. I completed the work mailed him back the files and he replied back saying that its working fine, he is not even bothered to thank, Later on a few minutes afterwards, while conversing with a mutual friend of ours I came to know that he was partying at one of his friends birthday bash, knowing his nature its me who is stupid to work on such things.

    Another incident that happened today, as usual after work I went to food court took the token and given a 1000 rupee note, as I was in a rush, I didn't find out what he gave but to my dismay when I stopped at petrol bunk and checked ,I seen a 500 note, one 10 note and a 50 rupee note in a folded pattern in such a way that the 50 and 10 are kept inside the 500 and then half folded instead of 910 INR I should get, the amount of loss is minimal but the attitude of the person that matters the most, how can one bluff directly in such a way.

    Selfish and Greedy people always try to exploit others in one form or the other,
    be careful when you face these kind of people in your life.

    Dear Kishore,

    Right conduct is more important than life itself. Unfortunately, we live in a world where not many believe in it. In my opinion, violation of faith is a serious misconduct.

    I am sorry to see that you have been treated this way and yes, its common that such things happen to most of us.

    In the former case, I would only suggest you to be happier that you had a chance to do something constructive. Perhaps that friend's act left you in bad taste, but you were proving to yourself that you could do it.

    In general, the belief in people these days takes a heavy jolt and we should take it as another experience and move on.

    I intend to be good to everyone,
    Stand right for the faith placed upon me,
    And apologize for my mistakes but then
    I can't expect the same from the

    Others who may willingly cross
    Lines for their own benefit but
    Such gains are just useless because
    They now don't belong to 'trustworthy' set.

    Experiences such as these
    Teach us to be pessimistic.
    Its better to be some, but I choose
    To continue to be optimistic.

    I am sure that I will be finding
    One or more men of honour.
    The sheer pleasure of seeing
    Them will restore the order.

    Brother RGS,

    You spoke my mind too, Many a times I feel Oh we are being exploited especially in extreme cases when people act too smart after the work is done with all the energy and time spent, that doesn't stop, next moment we are again extending the requisite help to the extent we could, what to do we are human.. we are brought up to be selfless.

    May Baba guide us always, SAIRAM

    Thanks SaiSakthi sister, but then I beg to differ for your last sentence. You are definitely one of those being selfless, but I can't say that for myself.

    I am warmed by your appreciation, yes, but I need to deserve that some day. -rgs

    Education should teach us courtesy and character.

    people like how u said above cannot be considered classy or sophisticated.They are too cheap.
