ॐBoyGanesh : Being wealthy seems akin to winning the lottery & the advice for the latter is to remain anonymous & tell as few people as possible. Because every charity, from long lost relatives to legitimate organizations, will come out of the woodwork to ask for money. To the point one is fielding many requests daily. Assuming it’s a wealthy person who wishes to be philanthropic on their own terms (even if just for the tax benefit) this skews, influences & disrupts their ability to do so. Also, it’s trashy to boast & brag about what one haves, particularly money. Instead, one should be grateful & feel blessed, then do what they can to contribute when & where needed. Wealth doesn’t always refer to the 1%, it’s not always about greed and quite often people with generational wealth want to live comfortably & do what they can for society with some of what they have. I know it sounds like I’m being an apologist for the rich, but I get why a mother wouldn’t want her child bragging, even playing.

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
