Mystery Uncle

Every morning as I read the news paper or watch the news on television, I realize the whole world around is busy trying to be rich & famous, and here i am, putting in some crazy work hours on certain days and yet no where to be mentioned.

Baba Ramdev (wish it was Babu Ramdev) and Sri Sri Money Shankar (sorry Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) move around in luxury cars, get VVIP treatment, have millions of dollars coming to them as donation and all of this just to teach people how to Breathe-In and Breathe-out? 99% of Jr.Bachchan's movie flop but yet he gets signed for 5+ crores for his next venture to torture us. Kishore Biyani introduced chaos into shopping (i mean Big bazaar) and is making billions, there are lot of such people who are making it big !

Not that I am jealous of these successful people or they give me sleepless nights but there should be something I am missing in my routine life and I am 100% sure of this. Last Monday was an all-India strike, purpose of which I am told was to question the government on their "Inflation control measures", definitely not a true reason, the true agenda was only POLITICS but nothing we can do about it (want to stand up against the strike ? then try it !). Well only thing that struck my attention out of the various articles on strike was, the day's loss was estimated to be approximately INR 130 Billion or INR 13000 Crores ! Which simply means, that is the amount of money that exchange hands on a given day. Now the question is - what are my hands doing, why are they not involved in this exchange ? They surely need to be made better use of than writing meaningless blogs or useless software

Not that I need money but I would not mind replacing my small car with a chauffeur driven Bentley. Would be my pleasure to move into a penthouse overlooking the sea but the question is how ? How about this for an answer - some unknown, distant, unwell and wealthy uncle shows up from no where, makes me the legal heir to his property and then takes shelter in God's abode ? Might sound mean but deep in our heart we all are waiting for that "mystery uncle" :-)
