Money doesn’t grow on trees – says who, says me moneyplant ( pothos )

This new thing is a super-hyped social stigma and somewhat an elite fashion statement for the urban dweller be it from the west, collecting exorbitant plants and filling every blessed corner of your house or apartment you live or reside or their homes.
I think when someone likes to languish and flaunt on their plant collection with a chicken from their Newyork home, who won’t fall for it?

Sounds natural, and with the blessing of youtube, one gets to see it live. To keep things more naturally, one can always enjoy this on a balcony or any space with some spaced out and minimal kind of decor. Let us say if you keep ten plants inside your bedroom of which one of them might have been infected with spider mites, which is quite common for indoor gardening, as the circulation of air is less so the moisture content of the soil might get moister. If this is not taken care of at the right time, it will get into several serious problems.

Sometimes we must think about the risk involved with products or living things, and if I am not wrong, to date, not a single garden centre has sold plants with a guarantee card that this plant will not be infected with any disease or it won’t die. The latest plant collection of the Philodendrons and Anthuriums and the Alocasia, and the list is endless.

I wonder what will happen with all these plants and who will take care of yourself if you are not an experienced plant person, pay your bills, rent, and the list goes on???

I am sure you must have heard of World Farm, in Singapore, and the most fantastic thing about this country is the way they have decorated every location with the right kind of plants, and the varieties of species ranging from philodendrons to orchids are so unique, and simply beautiful, that how much time one spend in some garden centres, well one can have some time to go to these garden centres once a while to buy their plants they really have been trying to get for quite some time.

I mean one must understand the difference between a garden centre and someone’s home.

Imagine for one moment someone would have filled malls and entryways with lots of plants. Would it really look pleasant, or just an uplifting space with few plants would attract attention and redefine the decor nicely. It is not at all a bad idea to buy plants, but one thing one must remember before you buy your next plant pot, maybe some new yorker is benefitting from your online enrollment of how to make plants love you, but can anyone vouch on the fact that plants will make you wealthy unless you start selling them or have your own plant store 🙂

I am not against I am not against plants or anyone who does enjoy plants and anything related to nature and similar things, but my dear friends, if you get a dreadful infection from one of these plants or your pet does, I am sorry to make this dreadful. The factual statement, these plants won’t save you from those huge endless medical expenses. There are quite a few plants that’s not pet friendly at all. Sometimes I wonder, people have so much money to buy these exorbitant plants, instead for a month do not buy a plant, instead sharethemeal.

A great way to save some quality effort, is in a great way to enhance your life and help those who are really in need of what you can’t acquire by buying that gigantic monstera or palm tree. There is so much poverty around the world, and one act of kindness will definitely bring a significant change in those lives you will try to help and those who will be benefitted.

I do not buy plants to decor my house. In fact, the plants I carry are evenly spread without much fuss. To end things on a lighter note, you need to see this plant video on YouTube.

When that NON-PLANT FRIEND visits my tropical garden.

Good Night 🙂

Someone sits on some market street and sells this “mantra to a whole world.” Like any vendor selling his products in the local wet market. I wonder how Singapore would look if financial products or loans were sold at a wet market. Jokes apart, it is not funny when you fall for such things, like ” I will make you rich “, “you will become rich before you hit 30“. “you look rich, how aren’t you say you aren’t rich ” and there are more.

I am sitting in Singapore and living a reasonably moderate life all my years. I have understood one secret mantra that you do not get rich in a jiffy. Neither one can be as fit as a fiddle without any proper exercise or a well-balanced diet. Too much hyped sugar-coated tart messages marketed to you either in the form of a subscription or SMS might define unknown trouble.

Read this with a pinch of salt. That’s total bs***

I am no finance guru, but I would like to share a straightforward fact with you like an average commoner. One must have some rainy day savings and, above all, a savings plan which one has access to, not in some policies but which one can access with ease. That must not be shared with anyone, not even with your best chum. Try to focus on building your wealth cause you are not an ATM machine that will churn out money when you are badly in need of it. Neither those subscriptions will pay you back, I mean those who had promised you some years ago that they will make you rich. Let us face the most brutal fact ever. When you are seriously in need of money, friends start distancing, relatives don’t entertain you, or your loved ones just keep you out of their social list. Cause one can’t predict rain, neither anyone could expect a calamity in the form of a pandemic.

So the most important thing for such situations is always to have secured funds for a rainy day. If you are a student, a writer, an entrepreneur, or a businessman, always remember to keep an active savings fund where you can save your money every month. This will not only help you when such situations occur, but you can also deal with it smartly and not sadly.

Out of 108 people inside a room, maybe 30 of them had secured their rainy day funds when they understood the worth and value.

I did mine too from an age when I realized that money is not about Gucci bags and Louis Vuitton wallets or Dior makeup. It is like a fad statement that is good enough for temporary pleasure.
.. I just reminded myself of one thing I heard in some video where the glamorous mystic Sadhguru mentions that “do you wish to live a life of a bhogi, a rogi or a yogi “
Staying or experiencing a monk’s life is not a trajectory; neither starting a savings plan at the eleventh hour will be of any help to you. What you can do now is “being in the moment” and growing your wealth most securely and with a conscious effort.

So much for now, as I scribble these lines from my comfort zone, that is my home in Singapore, like nothing as much relaxing and content to be alive every moment with the sounds and smell of what I call “Truly Asia.”

It’s time to wind up, and before I log off, stay safe and protected, my dear friends, wherever you are. And do not forget to wear your mask.

Good Night 😛
