Solution

Hello friends! I am a thousand rupee note, an Indian currency. I was born in the year 2000. Pretty and pink, I have a great value. The great leader of India's freedom struggle, Mahatma Gandhi's portrait on me is a matter of great pride for me.

Born at Currency Note Press in Nashik, Maharashtra, my journey has been a long one. From one person to another, poor and rich, young and old, I have been with them all, even though for a short while.

While some took care of me and worshipped me, others mishandled me. But that's life! There will be good and bad experiences.

But my request to you, friends, is handle and spend me carefully. After all such a lot of efforts go into earning me. Hope you have made a 'note' of it.
