November 2002 - I boarded the train from Mumbai to Pune to take up my first job.
Net income was Rs 15,000/- We were working in one of the top IT service companies and quite excited. I used to
meticulously write my expenses on daily basis. Very soon, I had made some good friends. I was eating out regularly.
There was one late night movie every week, parties during the week. I stopped writing my expenses.
Every Friday there was a Sumo ready to take us back to Mumbai and every dreadful Monday, there was one to take us back to office. By the time I left my
first job and moved to the second one, I had Rs 4000/- in my bank account (2 years of saving).
