You have it so easy don't you? With your parents' decades worth of hard-earned money to support you. Wait, was it even hard-earned or did that came easy too, from unscrupulous means and compromised ethics? Well, I'm nobody to judge you, but I do observe you.
You lie in your cushy bed, fiddling with that brand new cellphone that costs more than what some people earn in a lifetime. Exaggerating, am I? No, wake up, look around you. Notice the dire poverty on the other side of town, in the shanties you've only ever seen from a distance yet unconsciously turn a blind eye to? There are people living there too, amid unspeakable filth and squalor. The same people you hire to clean your toilets and scrub your floors, luring them with paltry sums of money that are like spare change in your deep pockets, but seem to be fortunes to those poor underprivileged souls.
You yak into your phone, with people just like you yakking back at the other end. Lunch, movie, dinner; you make plans to enjoy and unwind. You will wear those new jeans, the one you ordered your uncle from America to bring along on his last 'business trip' down to the subcontinent. I wish you would care to check the label sometimes; they're made in India, beleive it or not. Manufactured in pollution-spewing factories that hire people like robots and exploit them in every way, luring them with paltry money, just like you do.
You will sit at your new laptop, the one you've just bought to have a faster computing experience since your old one's too full of movies and photos and music to process up to the mark anymore, and you will surf the internet to decide which new digital camera to purchase. Or ask your dad to purchase for you, rather. You got a 70% on those last exams, you deserve a gift. And that new Nikon with all the fancy features will make you the envy of your clan of friends, namely like-minded rich kids. Moreover, you will impress that guy you have your eye on, he's into all kinds of gadgets and is bound to go gaga over your snazzy new camera that's not even arrived in the Indian market yet. He will ask if he can try it out, and you will gladly agree, striking sexy poses for him to click; photographs which you will then upload on Facebook to receive compliments galore. In the comments, you will accidentally on purpose reveal that HE is the one who captured the shots, and this will make the other girls jealous, and draw more attention to you and your desired guy. You will engage in some public discussions about photography without really knowing what you're saying but sounding super smart because of your unflappable confidence. The same confidence that had helped you flatter and win over that teacher who had then allowed you to cheat on the exams so as to get the 70% and appear 'deserving' of the camera to your parents.
You needn't have gone to all that trouble. You're a rich kid; your parents would buy you anything you want even if you fail the exams or get busted at a rave or take someone's life with that swanky BMW you drive without a license. Your parents are blind to your faults because they can be easily covered up with money, but I wonder how they've come to be deaf to their consciences too?
People say you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I don't understand what that means, and I'm sure neither do you, but perhaps those born with spoons, never learn to use their hands. Confused? Yes, I knew you would be but I won't explain. My meaning is implied and it's time you learned to use your brain and 'get' things without having to Google them all the time.
Thank you.

10 scribbles scribbled back to me:
Although it's a very well intended post, and some of the lines written are so true, yet it's kinda extreme in cases where you says that she might have buttered the teachers to get the 70% marks she did, which may not be entirely true in the all the cases. But yes, some rich brats, who get everything so easy, with their whims and fancies all laid out for them do not know what the hard life is like and do not know how it is to yearn for something in life.
yes, i do agree my ideas tend to be extreme a lot of times, but it was just a fictional story that came to mind, hence it's written in this way. it doesn't refer to any particular person, it's just meant to be a reflection of what rich kids can at times be like; it's in no way a generalization or a true incident..
If you have money, you have power. Period!
Even people from M.I.G backgrounds tend to be big show offs...so regardless of one's background, I feel a person is a 'show off' only coz that's the way he/she is.
Something related to rich people...
Although I dislike the Quota system in our country in some ways, I feel that people from rich backgrounds should be barred from getting 'quota' privileges.
Anyways...I feel yeh khwahish khwahish hi banke reh jayegi.
There's a song, Law for the Rich, by a U.K hardcore band called 'The Exploited' which goes something like this...
Fuck with you fuck with me
They thing we fade away
Tory law nazi law its just the fucking same
Theres a law for the rich
A law for people like you and me
Theres a law for the rich
A law for people like you and me
Fuck the criminal justice bill
Shove it up your ass
Crimes on the increase
They blame the working class
Theres a law for the rich
A law for people like you and me
Theres a law for the rich
A law for people like you and me
Corruption in the government
Corruption in the crown
No justice in a system
Thats there to put you down

I've realised that I can't stand my localite friends. They are the ones who are 'spoilt' coz back home they have their mommy to clean up all their mess...and when these brats come to my place, they almost always leave a trail of mess.
I hate localites. I'm gonna buy a shotgun today and if any of you localites come near my place, I'm gonna shoot you in the head.
@ Kazuma, whoa, good to see someone echoes my sentiments! shall hear the song... and i agree that the rich should be barred from the quote system. :P i feel like a robin hood supporter. lol
