From the business mind it shows the rikshaw bala's policy. 2. From the common life it shows the value of 2 rupees even can make difference to make stop something to happen. 3. From individual life we should be ready to provide some solution to every problem( either to self thinking about our duty at this time or about his problem). Rather we shouldn't leave it and simply avoid any confusions whether to give 2more rupees or not. So decission regarding to make him happy or self happy was completely required at that moment, so that thought at later case could have been minimised. 1.

Can we add the following lines which are somewhat similar to this. To realize The value of a sister Ask someone Who doesn't have one. To realize The value of ten years: Ask a newly Divorced couple. To realize The value of four years: Ask a graduate. To realize The value of one year: Ask a student who Has failed a final exam. To realize The value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a still born. To realize The value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to A premature baby. To realize The value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize The value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to Meet. To realize The value of one minute: Ask a person Who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize The value of one-second: Ask a person Who has survived an accident... To realize The value of one millisecond: Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics To realize the value of a friend: Lose one. Really a mind boggling thought.

But, I doubt! This is because as I narrated --"No one agreed to go with a fare of Rs 6/-, all the rickshaw-walas were charging Rs 10-12/-. I was bit surprised, when this one agreed for Rs 6/- after a moment’s thought." He could have charged some more too, which he did not (Usually people charges 7-9 for that distance). There is nothing to dis-belief and it is up to the individual to decide whether it is a sob story or not. Some time we should believe from a human angle, and that too in the late night. Infact one can read the face. Comparing marks with life is not appropriate. There is no alternative and one can't get more marks once the exam is over or result is out (except by cribs!). In the other case, the rickshaw puller was quite confident to earn two more if he waits some more time. He had alternatives, but that was too late. Yes, you might be right. But, I doubt!

However, from the way you've narrated it, I felt as if the rickshaw puller was selling a sob story --- somewhat like how we crib about getting less marks in our exams ("give me two marks more, my career is at stake"). But then again maybe the rickshaw puller was telling the truth. That’s a powerful phrase: “Such is the denomination of money”.

Yes, it is not the denomination of money I'm highlighting. By saying "Those two rupees ….. aamjunta think about it" -- I just opened the thread. Two things I wanted to emphasize in this article: (a) Don't give up, keep trying honestly till you achieve (rickshaw puller was ready to wait for some more time to earn two more) (b) The value of the money or any other resource is different for different people. One has to understand that before spending (some time wasting/throwing). Thanks Rajnish for sharing your thought, You are absolutely right. Yes, it is not the denomination of money I’m highlighting.

Quite often we find that the core values of life are depicted by people who need them the least. Is this the reason they stay contended even though they fall further into deprivation. Dear Aamjunta,
Nice thoughts, which have been narrated beautifully, however, I feel It is not the “denomination of money, some thing which has no value for someone might be a whole life for some body else”, as you have put across but the values of the man in need, the protagonist of the event you have narrated.
