My name, according to its origin, means "wealthy friend". Well, it sounds good and I think I should do my best to live up to the meaning of my name. Be it wealthy in material things or wealthy in friends. I'd rather choose the latter. What is the meaning of your name?

I would prefer wealthy. As for wealth, it can be accumulated only by intelligence and hard work. It disappears pretty fast if you have got it gratis. It may even become the cause of quarrels between husband and wife. A wealthy wife is proud of the wealth she has brought with her. Therefore she is not dutiful and obedient. It is only the intelligent wives that have stood by their husbands in critical times. Nala was able to regain his throne due to an intelligent wife. Rama could successfully complete the exile period due to her dutiful and intelligent wife. They helped their husbands to share their grief’s and make time look shorter. I, therefore, strongly recommend intelligence as the main consideration while selecting one's partner for life. Why, is it that many men with rare ability and outstanding intelligence are servants of those who have fat purses? If intelligence was weightier than wealth, people would try to be intelligent rather than wealthy. In fact, people use intelligence to become rich. Therefore, wealth is to be preferred to intelligence. Those who obtain riches by sincere and honest labour, intelligent investing and re-investing, value their wealth more. Those who spend their wealth on gaining virtue and knowledge know its correct use. Riches are not only the result of labour and hard work but they are also the means of obtaining what the world values the most. I, therefore, feel that wealth is better. Wealth is essential for a new couple. Setting up a new home requires money. If one gets a wealthy wife he can get a good start in life and hope for worthy achievements. A marriage with a wealthy wife is bound to be successful as money cements the union strongly.
