Ae Dil hai Mushkil...

So we begin our Diwali break, hearing umpteen numbers of times, the songs of latest Bollywood romantic drama (if I may say so) and undivided paternal love. It's all about relations and love. Love makes someone jump from cliffs, mountains and for some sing from bridges. Why can't we do normal things in love? Why do we do want best for our family-best school, best car, holiday or even best life partner? Each and every decision we make for these things are done with lot of contemplation and advise from our previous experiences. We sometimes know what we are doing is wrong but yet do it, because we think there is no harm in trying it. So be it shopping online for your Diwali clothes or buying your 1st I-phone from a stranger on OLX. We are ready to take a chance. What is the motivation here? Is it money savings or comfort of home to buy from or is it the previous bitter experience that makes us try new paths?

Kya Ye Sahi Nahi…..
Why are we not willing to get this flexibility in our personal finances? Why do we still want to invest in fixed deposits even when the interest rates are falling? Why do we feel socially low to take a loan instead of breaking our built assets? What stops us from trying mutual funds now if we once lost our money in it?  Why is real estate transactions still are our favorite? Why do we not ask questions to our banks on loan rates? We bargain all our deals, why do we not bargain on brokerage rates? We download myntra, amazon app but why can't we follow some budget on Google sheets?  When your insurance agent sends you new investment plan why don't you ask him his commission rate IRDA mandates all agents and brokers to make public such information. When was the last time you checked how your bank interest is calculated?  Do you know how many charges your bank levies on you? You have every right to go and ask the breakup of your utility bills?




Why so many small things are just are left unanswered by us as just another moment delay? Every moment a fraction of time lost can give a loss more than millions of rupees together.  So let us together pledge on this New Year to leave back all our laziness, useless explanation and give back to our family - the best they deserve.
