(AI generated translation of रिच बॉय पूअर बॉय आखिरी चैप्टर)

By Shikha Tailang, Bhopal

Rich Boy lives in an air-conditioned environment. His car has AC, his house has AC. But Poor Boy does not bother about AC and face all the fury of nature like heat, cold and rain with a smile.

Rich Boy lives in a posh colony while Poor Boy lives near a posh colony. Rich Boy has a bungalow but Poor Boy’s father is a pauper. Rich Boy calls his father Dad and his mother Mummy. But Poor Boy calls Papa Pitaji and his mother Mataji. Rich Boy’s mother does not cook food for the children with her own hands, rather Poor Boy’s mother goes to Rich Boy’s house and arranges to fill their tummies.

Rich Boy never sweeps or mops the house but Poor Boy’s mother keeps listening to the scolding of Rich Boy and his Mummy-Daddy while sweeping or mopping the house. Rich boys celebrate their birthdays with pomp and show while poor boys celebrate their birthdays by roaming around. Rich boys cut cakes on their birthdays but poor boys spend their lives making dung cakes.

Rich boys definitely read Robert Kiyosaki’s famous book Rich Dad Poor Dad but poor boys’ poor dads are not rich enough to buy this book. Rich boys grow up in a college environment but poor boys don’t go to college and stay in the village. It is a matter of pride for the parents of rich boys to pay the college fees but if by mistake poor boys even step on the threshold of college then their parents get scared thinking about the fees.

Rich boys believe in taking pocket money from their parents but poor boys’ parents don’t have enough money to fill their son’s pockets. Rich boys are generally called Love, who fall in love with a girl when they grow up, but poor boys are generally called Prem and when they talk to a girl, their lips start fluttering.

Rich boys start choosing a girl for themselves at an early age, but poor boys start collecting wood from an early age. When rich boys get married, they get digital cards made. They send those cards through mobile phones or the net and fulfill the formalities. But poor boys go to their guests’ houses before marriage and plead to invite them and even then scold them if they do not come to the wedding. Those guests who come to the wedding, they are fed Puri in the meal.

Rich boys invite 1000 guests to the wedding and get 1000 types of dishes prepared, whereas poor boys get at most 10 types of dishes prepared at their wedding and are able to feed them to at most 100 guests.

Thus, there is a huge difference between a rich boy and a poor boy. Poor boys remain attached to the ground but poor boys fly in the sky. Despite all this, the only similarity between a rich boy and a poor boy is that both have one head, two ears, two hands and two legs. God has given 24 hours in a day to the rich boy and the same number of hours to the poor boy! Whatever difference there is is created by man himself and if a poor boy uses his brain properly, he can become a rich boy and if a rich boy misuses his brain, it does not take long for him to become a poor boy.
