‘Chitra’ Mani Darpan: "Money Comes to the Rich..." — How True Is This Saying?: “Money Comes to the Rich... ಹಣವಂತರಿಗಗೇ ಹಣ ಸೇರುವುದು This is a line from the film song ಏನು ಮಾಯೆಯೋ of ” Bhagyada Lakshmi Baaramma,” It is written by Chi Udayashankar. But the real question before us is: Is the saying “money comes to the rich” merely the frustration of the poor, or is there some scientific truth behind it? Simply put, thousands of grocery stores across the country are closing. When we observe the declining business of these small shops alongside the rapid rise of giant malls, the line from the song starts to ring true. In reality, the government has the authority to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. It holds the power of budgeting, lawmaking, and policymaking. However, because those in power often come from the wealthy class, we frequently see them—sometimes secretly, sometimes openly—safeguarding the interests of the rich. After all, the government needs their support... This phenomenon is commonly known as crony capitalism. Governments rely on industrialists to provide employment opportunities. And let’s not forget—politicians often depend on these same wealthy individuals for election funding. In return, the rich continue to support the ruling class in their times of need. However, the poor need not despair. The number of self-made, first-generation wealthy individuals is higher than those who were born into riches. According to recent data, most of the world's billionaires are first-generation rich— meaning they earned their wealth through their own efforts. In fact, it's estimated that 87% of billionaires are self-made, while only 13% inherited their wealth. — Cartoon -Script: Vasantha Hosabettu

'Chitra' Mani Darpan: From Wall Clocks to Laughing Buddhas – The Gift Business: Who doesn’t appreciate tributes, memorials, or gifts? The gesture is meaningful when the recipient understands the giver’s intention. Otherwise, one might feel it would have been better to receive money instead of a gift. But what should one do with ten Mysore turbans, five or six sandalwood necklaces, four wall clocks, or twenty wall paintings received at a housewarming, wedding, or other event? And what about bouquets that wither in just a day? If monetary gifts were given instead, the amount expected by the recipient might not always align with the giver’s budget. This is precisely why the gift business thrives. A well-chosen gift—one that showcases craftsmanship, environmental consciousness, and creativity—brings joy to all. There is a growing demand for such thoughtful gifts. However, customers can be price-sensitive, given the high volume of invitations and the tendency to re-gift items at events. For business promotions, some prefer using gift coupons, allowing recipients to choose what they truly want. Meanwhile, the greeting card industry has seen a decline, impacted by technological advancements and changing consumer preferences. Interestingly, there is a popular belief that a Laughing Buddha should not be bought but should instead be received as a gift. Even in this belief, a business pattern emerges.
