Travelling..sense of wealth
At last i have got something in my mind which truly got aroused by one of my friends. This post is dedicated 2 the mode of travelling reflecting to the sense of wealth. I feel its all rubbish when a person talks about mode of travelling 2 b connected 2 the wealth of that particular person( or his/her family ).Not that i have been talked 2(just in case).
I was talking 2 paddu ( one of my friends ) and during our conversation she came up with a question about why not travelling by plane; actually i m in hyderabad and would be going 2 chennai tomorrow. I m actually travelling by TRAIN which in a way sounds cheap, so when we were talking she asked "why r u not coming by flight?", this particular question would have been really tuff and embarrassing 2 answer if it would have been someone else.
Her question is the main reason for this particular post.I m well off and can afford 2 travel not just in plane but also in business class ( no jokes ). But my father is a down 2 earth person (that 2 very much ) and does not like me spending cash for silly reasons. I cannot back answer him telling about this particular question and make him change his mind just bcoz i get embarrassed answering it.
My VERDICT:
Now that's what is in my mind.
In both ways, as we can c the overall expenditure is the same i.e Rs 2800 but i had something useful with me in the end. Now possibly a back answer to this question would be that, u can spend some extra money and buy that same jeans but the question does not lie on who is richer but it stresses on travelling reflecting riches....so i feel its wrong 2 compare riches with travelling sense.
This would have been good enough for me 2 explain " Y i do not travel by plane and use cheaper modes ".There were no intentions of me telling how rich i am and what all i have( if at all i had been ).
PS:this does not reflect any cruel intentions towards paddu or her questioning, truly speaking i have been questioned the same way by many of my friends. As long as answering is concerned, i have my own way of doing with it for different people. This is not bcoz of them questioning, its only bcoz i felt the need of it.
PS2:I really do feel that my Father is correct( actually i have never felt that he has gone wrong is money sense )..i have no regrets in going by train or a bus.
PS3:One more thing 2 state, whenever i go by train/bus it has 2 b a journey less than 12hrs, if its more that 12 then most of the times i travel by plane, that's bcoz of the duration and nothing 2 do with comfort.
PS4: Mr/Mrs Anonymous if at all u have read it fully, never ask or judge a person on his/her travelling senses. do not ask that question stated above.;-)

My VERDICT:
- My thinking is that- its waste spending cash travelling on a plane(if no emergency); i ain't telling to save cash, i think we can spend intelligently...at this point of time an example has come up which is worth stating.
