Victory of Good over Evil – Rama Way
Just as Lord Rama defeated Ravana, your inner “Financial Rama” must defeat the demon “Impulse-Buying Ravana” every time you see a “Sale” sign.
Ravana’s 10 Heads = Your 10 Money Demons
Let’s be honest, we’ve all hosted a few of these demons:
- Greed: “Trading/F&O/Crypto will make me a crorepati by Tuesday!”
- Fear: “I’ll keep all my money under the mattress. The stock market is a haunted house!”
- Anger: “The market is down! I’m selling everything and becoming a monk!”
- Ego: “I don’t need a financial advisor. I’ve watched every season of ‘Shark Tank’.”
- Laziness: “I’ll start my Investment/SIP… tomorrow.” (Spoiler: Tomorrow never comes).
- Overconfidence: “Diversification is for losers. I’ve put all my eggs in one basket, and it’s a golden basket!”
- Attachment: “I can’t sell this losing stock. We’ve been through so much together. It’s like my problematic pet.”
- Envy: “My neighbour bought a new car with his bonus. I’m taking a loan to buy a bigger one. This is healthy competition.”
- Desire: “I need that new iPhone. My current one is… last year’s model.” (The horror!)
- Ignorance: “My financial plan is a lottery ticket and a prayer.”
💡 This Dussehra, light a fire under these bad habits. Burn the effigy of ‘I’ll-Do-It-Later’ and watch the fireworks!
Maa Durga’s Victory on Mahishasura
Mahishasura was a shape-shifting demon. Just like your financial emergencies: one moment it’s a broken fridge, the next it’s a wedding invitation from a distant relative.
Your SIP is your Trishul (trident) that pierces through inflation.
Your Emergency Fund is your Lion, ready to roar at unexpected expenses.
Your Insurance is the collection of all your weapons, creating a forcefield around your family.
💡 Build your ‘Financial Durga’ so that when life’s ‘Mahishasuras’ attack, you don’t just survive, you slay.
Dussehra as Your Financial New Beginning
On Dussehra, people start new ventures. You don’t have to start a company, just a good habit.
- Today is the day you: Finally open that PDF statement from your mutual fund.
- Today is the day you: Cancel that subscription for the gym you haven’t visited since the last Dussehra.
The Core Message:
Dussehra teaches us that the real “Vijay” (victory) isn’t a one-day event. It’s the daily battle where your patience (Rama) and your preparation (Durga) team up to defeat the demon of “What if I just… YOLO my savings?”(YOLO- You Only Live Once)
Remember, the forest of exile (saving and investing) lasts for 14 years, but the kingdom of Ayodhya (financial freedom) is worth it.
This Dussehra, may your portfolio be as victorious as Lord Rama, and your financial will as fierce as Maa Durga! 🪔
