My difficult times – part 5 – last but one!

I was too optimistic I guess. Rather than asking for help, I wanted others to ask me whether I need some help or not. Well in this scenario too out of all the people I knew the only person who asked me if I need any financial help was my American chat friend, whom I met in the year 2000 through AOL. Her husband was having some problems on work front that time, but still she told me, “if you need any help let me know, will send you some money.” I immediately asked her, “but then you won’t be having much because of your husband’s career problems.” And she said, “I will share what I have!” Her words were like a rejuvenating tonic to me, and I was double assured that I have taken the right decision.

I started considering my chat friend as my KCN (potassium cyanide) – my last resort. If nothing works out may be I will take her help. And thankfully I never had an opportunity to use my KCN. But I always will remain grateful for her support and her kind words.

I was running from pole to pole. And was already rotating money- borrowing from friend, and giving it to other in the promised time frame. While borrowing someone lent me money on interest, someone lent me with a deadline, and there were few great friends who helped me in style. One of my friends came home to hand over the money, and said take your time, no hurry. And there were two others, who just asked my account number, made the transfer in 5 mns, and asked me to confirm the receipt.

After struggles for few months with man generated limited resource called money, my revenue started to increase, and by God’s grace I was slowly coming out of the financial crisis. And once I saved enough, I buzzed my friends for their account numbers so that I can return the money, and they refused to give. They plainly said, don’t bother. On that particular day the amount of money, which I had borrowed had lost its value completely. And it was the same money which was immensely valuable for me just a couple of months. That was when I realized that both justice and money should always come at the right or it loses its value.

As I was slowly doing well on the financial front, and was able to manage my life better, God sent Rashmi Bansal. She is a journalist, and she wanted to interview me for an article on bloggers who are making money for Business World magazine. The article was well received, and it gave a boost to my credibility factor.

To be continued....
