Holi Bumper

Money is not important. But the way you make money is. I have always liked to make money in exciting ways. Take this instance for example. I was in the ninth standard. After accepting bets on the World Cup(will blog about that later), I found lottery as a good way to make some money. The last pages of the rough book, the only book that I carried to school, were pulled out. Well, I did not know then how to find the centre page(pulling the centre page ensures that your book remains intact). These were then torn into ten chits, each with a number from one to ten on them. And because, Holi was the nearest festival, my lottery was named as Holi Bumper. There was no dearth of gamblers in my class. Each one had to shell one buck for his(no girl gamblers) ticket. Number to gambler mapping was done and the chits were thrown on the desk. Some guy was chosen to pick a chit. ***** (dont want to name him..Hint : He hates me) was the lucky winner. He got five bucks. I got the other five.
