The Last Goal

The moment I had my first glance of Mathur’s mansion, I had to concede that Madan had not exaggerated while describing his riches. It was a palatial structure fit only to be abode of a king.
Money is God for a poor man. But for a rich man, the role of money is very restricted. In the life of a rich man, a stage comes when money becomes a useless commodity for him. When its only utility left is to make it an instrument of earning more money. A rich man laments that the God didn’t bestow him with ten mouths and twenty stomachs, that he couldn’t dissolve silver and drink, that he could not eat gold as food item, could not chew diamonds and rubies and pearls. That might be the reason that the men with money make the most vulgar display of it in raising a mansion and in the marriage of their children where no expenditure is ever enough.
