They call them Kanaku pillai clan in Tamil who kept a locker and maintained impeccable books of accounts even when a Septuagenarian. They never used Calculators and knew exactly how to roll money in the era of high interest rates. He never used the school shades even for rain. For that matter, even the Great Srinivas Ramanujam conjured infinite possibilities of Mathematics after discontinuing from School.

These days we have so many options available when there is enough money to be earned.Many know how to roll money these days on Gaming Zones in IMAX and Multiplex where the coin goes only one way-IN.
