crore-pathi...

If you grew up in India in the 90s, then you would typically associate a crore-pathi to be someone who is stinking rich.

A crore = 100 lakhs or approximately 10 million Rs or 220,000 USD.

As I was speaking with more people in Bangalore  (folks who are financially savvy and have a good eye for investment), I hear more statements on these lines -  "If you don't have a crore in your bank account NOW, you have made a wrong decision to get back to India". That got me thinking and worried, I had to scramble around and see what I have in my account, of course, I'm a long way off from that target. Only time will tell if that statement holds true :-)

Cost of living + inflation has hit a point where crore today is really not that worth much these days !!
