Rs 1000

If I found Rs 1000 on ground, I look around my surroundings and I make sure that there is no one is watching me, and then I pick that money and put it in to my pocket. If someone watching me I simply standing over the money until they go away then after I take that money.  Then I used that money for my personal use only. Because I feel that this money is given by God for solve my financial problem. I’m positive thinker so I feel that these 1000 rupees is just a trailer given by god. If I take it then god give more opportunities like this, but if I ignore it then god never give money to solve my financial problems.                

                                         

Then from that money I will purchase what I want within that cost. Or I search the good materials in online shopping apps like flip kart within that cost and I order it to buy. Or I will use that money for recharging data pack, because I have more and more work with the help of Internet like news analysis, blog writing etc.
