The Game Of Life

It all started with chain emails of office friends to have a "potluck" party on Saturday afternoon. Everything was already planned even the dish I was suppose to make. Hmm , I have zero confidence in making anything from start to end on my own. All I had to do is make "Jaljeera" ..did you know it has some million ingredients and half of them I haven't even heard of. Anyways so, like a wuss, emailed back saying I'll help my room mate making shahi paneer but no jaljeera. So we reach the venue the next day and surprisingly everyone had turned up. It already was a hit. After a few laughs and meet with old colleagues.. we all sit down to eat. Hmm .. there was kheer ..my fav.. well here, they call it "paisam". I think that's the only thing I ate for lunch..man.It was brilliant. So now we decide to play "The Game of life". This was the first time we opened it and no one knew the rules..so I like a smart ass offer to read them and direct everyone. In case, you haven't played this game before, you have to initially choose between the route of "University" or "Business". Everyone chose the university way, having a stable job getting 50,000$ per month. I took up business not for the love of it ..just for the fun of it. Every "pay day" I got mere 12,000$. I definitely had made the wrong choice and I obviously wasn't rocking at the game. I was always second last .. coz the wheel of fortune would fetch me the lowest possible numbers. And it was all coming to an end, by now, everyone had become a millionaire and waiting patiently until I play my last few steps just to decide who came in last. Here is where it gets interesting, I land on this box which says "The day of reckoning". I receive 48,000$ * (The no of children I have) = 48000*3. Of course, I had three children..Jesus,I would rather have three dogs than having three children. Anyways,I also get either of the following choices:-
1). Go ahead to come in second last place, become a millionaire, count all my money and be declared a loser in the end.
2). Put all my money on a number and spin the wheel, to get that number, become a millionaire tycoon and win the game.
Come on, I chose "Business", of course I acted like a super-woman and put all my money on a number which was "4".(No affiliation to the number). And guess what happened when I spun that wheel..oh God, no I didn't go bankrupt. I actually won..I won "The Game of Life". Who knew I had any clue how to make so much hypothetical money. And I also learnt something about myself .."Business and Me"..never ever gonna happen."
