How to Write a Cheque (Check)
Need to cut a cheque (check) but not sure how to? No worries, this is what this post is about. Growing up I would see my mom cutting cheques and thought it was cool how a sheet of handwritten paper has monetary value. Then my cousin took on the role of cutting cheques for my grandfather and I thought perhaps cutting cheques is a very grown-up thing to do, my cousin is older than me.

Billu Bhai’s Realization Category: Human Interest / Life Lessons His real name was Bilal, but everyone in the village called him Billu Bhai. He was the eldest child in a large family, with parents, siblings, and relatives all living together. Growing up, Bilal had been quite weak, both physically and mentally. His childhood was marked by illness, which affected his ability to concentrate in school. Learning was a constant struggle, and he barely managed to complete his education up to the tenth grade. Now, at twenty-five, Bilal was hardworking, reliable, and always willing to help others. His father had given him a rickshaw, which became his source of daily income.
