My Bookmark

This is a bookmark I had "When I get money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes".
Initially when I used to read these lines (when I was a reader of books like Reader's Digest, Champak, Raj comics, Chandamama) I couldn't understand the importance; and now when I have understood what it means I cant find the bookmark any more.

Such is the Irony of Life...and Such is Life
