The Indian Rupee

Perhaps the most useful currency in this world is the Indian rupee. It can be used to buy things for sure, it can be accepted in return for whatever you are going to buy in the worlds seventh largest country. But if you are an Indian you'll find many more uses. Consider a biker on the road without a helmet. Now many would be going like that but the Great Indian State Traffic Police might not see anybody else except for some unlucky biker who is going a bit slower than the others. The man will beat around the bush asking why you didn't wear your helmet and he would want to see your driving license, your vehicle ownership papers and other paraphernalia but if you said something like "Everybody else is driving without a helmet" then he would fine that biker Rs 500 and give that biker a ticket and ask the biker to attend a counseling session on driving. But if you how to put Indian rupee to good use you will slip two 100 rupee notes under your palm and leave the moment he sidelines you. In government offices you would do better if you payed a bribe to get your thing done rather than wait for 2 months and get frustrated always hearing the reply that your request is being processed. The rupee finds its biggest use in law offices of the registrar for land and real estate concerns where it can be used to pay the owner in black, so that the deal papers and taxes can be settled for a low amount. The typists will finish your paper in 10 mins if a 100 rupee note travelled under the table otherwise you always have the option waiting till the evening even if you gave it that morning.If you want to join a college the Indian rupee opens previously filled seats even if you have only managed to get 20% in your senior secondary school. The power that the Indian rupee gives you is unimaginable. You can run over 50 people with your brand new car and get away without any punishment even if the media and people of the worlds largest democracy made all the ruckus possible. If you are a ministers son then you can smash down the nearby 5-star hotel and act as if all you did was break a sand castle. You can poach endangered Chinkaras and Blackbucks and Asian Elephants to make your rupee but if you have it, you are the emperor.
