'Fixed assets' sounded so scary when I was a kid. I thought it was some sort of a phrase only bankers understood. For the rest of us, throw it out of your head. The next time I came across this word was when I did my Introduction to Finance course. Ignored it then too. Ignored it even I got the result of the course too (*too old to be embarrassed about grades anymore*). But now, life is becoming what my mother calls 'reality' and is no longer a teenager's whimsical, fantasy-filled chocolaty, average life. The time has come when I need to make some serious decisions in life (like which dress to wear tomorrow morning to office...kidding).
Surfing through the Bangla channels, I came across an advertisement of Bashundhara Baridhara which actually got me thinking about my future too. Thanks to youtube censorship in Bangladesh, I cannot post the link here but the advertisement is a torture to the auditory senses. Given the fact that two such popular actors of Bangladeshi silver screen acted here, I expected technical dexterity. Oh well, ignoring the glitches, the storyline was simple and captures the attention of future worriers (not warrior, mind it) like me. Shimul and Mahfuz are college friends and Shimul takes the decision to invest in land purchase. Mahfuz finds this naive, considering his own investment in share market and having a stable job. Years later, they meet at a reunion and Shimul is seen have become a hotshot rich guy while Mahfuz is the typical Bangladeshi middle class bread earner. Mahfuz tries to avoid Shimul but ultimately end up talking when he admits that Shimul's decision was the best decision.
Simple yet grasping storyline. Story of every middle class Bangladeshi. I have just started my initiatives on saving but had no idea why I was saving. I mean, definitely not for a grand wedding (I want a court marriage). After seeing this ad, I think I know what I want in the nearer future. A fixed asset.
And then I shall become true to my name, Bhuiyan...the family of Jomidars (Zamindars)
