I was with the high and mighty
I am not in speaking terms with five star cashiers. Beggars accept me
with disgust should I fall off a bus, "Ah it's nothing, forget about it.
They all seem to say. No one is much bothered if I get lost. But look
you conceited fools, I am accepted and at home in places where the
Hallowed, teachers of your owners abide. Even those younger to me are
carried by your owners to those places as gifts. Yes! I am a humble two
rupee coin.

"St. Peter, there is a millionaire at the gate, seeking admission to
Heaven". "What has he given the needy? "5 rupees, 8 rupees and 7 rupees
on three occasions. All to his credit". "Dear Gabriel, give that miser
his twenty rupees and five rupees as interest. Then tell him to go to
Hell".
****
When you are born, everyone is happy, you cry alone. Let your life be
such, that when you are serenely peaceful in death-you are happy. All
others cry.

They were twins. How do you tell them apart? One asked from their
mother. "Oh she said" if this one is here, then the other one in there.
One will be somewhere of course, the other will be elsewhere. When they
are nowhere, we know that they are with their father at the 'Hardware,
or with their uncle at the foot of the waterfall St. Clair eating their
favourite 'eclair' I make them wear identical clothes, even underwear
lest they, about their attire compare. Yes many people do stare at our
very rare pair." The questioner was happy that he had been blessed with
two offspring three years apart.
