Paisa

Money, Get Away.......
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
-Pink Floyd

There are manys names for the same commodity.... dollars, pounds, dirhams, euros. But the most original and the ancient of the lot has got to be paisa. The unique thing about our country is that the name for the curreny means money in the local language. Money in english dose not mean dollars; But paisa in hindi sure means money.

The reason for this maybe in the straight-forwardness of the people of India. There is no ambiguity when one says paisa. It means without mistake Money. The honesty even reflects in our languages. What you pronounce is what you write, unlike western languages.

Come to think of it, the crux of the matter might lie in Niyat. No english word immediately comes to mind to describe what we mean by Niyat. Maybe that is because the west does not give much importance to it. Niyat is not only honesty, it is a way of life. To be clean in the mind, without any ultetior motives. To do the right thing no matter what the opposition to your task is. Niyat is the force by which most successful
people get the power to achieve. Guess these things are not that important to the west.

Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say is the root of all evil today.
Paisa... paisa...paisa
