It was Onam, the harvest festival of Keralites on Friday. I
attended a traditional Onam lunch. It is always a great feeling taking part in
such cultural activities.
The main attraction of the celebration was the traditional
Onam feast, ie. Sadhya. A sumptuous lunch with a long list of curries served on
a plantain leaf. All in traditional style.
As we were having the lunch, one of the dignitaries was
addressing the crowd. He mentioned the value of money. These days we are
hearing of several people affected by huge financial problems. Rich and
ordinary alike are suffering because of poor financial planning.
His speech reminded me of KV Shamsudheen’s untiring
community effort to teach the general public about the perils of bad money
management and the importance of systematic financial planning in life.
Money is precious. Handle it carefully. It is hard to earn
and easy to lose.
