Sat Siri Akaal. You have learned early that playing stocks or engaging in 'get rich quick' schemes nets you nothing, but trouble. Forget the internet for 'fast bucks'. Most internet schemes are dishonest or money scams.

Frankly, trying to earn it all back in a HURRY leaves you mostly illegal options. Guru has handed you a lesson to learn, and instead you are trying to cover your behind instead of recognizing that you (1) made a big mistake and (2) creating a legitimate plan to earn and pay back the money. It is unclear to me if the money was yours to begin with. If it was, then consider it a good lesson and move on to legitimate and less risky means of earning money. If the rupees weren't yours to invest in the first place, then be honest! Dishonesty is not what a Gursikh engages in! Come clean with your parents, but do so with a specific and realistic plan ON PAPER for earning the money back and re-earning their trust. 'Get rich quick' is not the karma of most people. Accept your mistake and rectify it honestly, rather than trying to cover it up. Otherwise, your despair will move you into a cycle of dishonesty and lying that, over time, becomes harder and harder as you lie to cover the lie to cover the lie. Come clean. Chant the naam and recite 25th pauri of jaapji to help you rectify your sense of worth and prosperty. Guru ang sang,
