- “What happened to that equipment you purchased last year? I'm not seeing it in your house!”
- "I just disposed off the piece as scrap as I don't need it any more!”
- “What dear, you bought it only last year and without using it fully, you scrapped it? You simply wasted your money. You know, a similar set I too disposed off yesterday. But only after making use of the whole of it for the last 3 years nothing less..
- See, money doesn't grow on trees and my wealth of today is because of this discipline. And that discipline alone made me buy my brand new car today!”
A day later, at the huge scrap area, 2 active rag pickers picked up 2 pieces of the equipment from one corner. Both with difficulty opened them in their own innovative ways..
- “Ah! This one, I got intact along with this hair pin clip.. Our man sure gives me Rs 100 for this one apart from 10 Rs for the cover. A good man had left this for me!”
- “I got this colored paper cup, these 2 funny crumbled papers and this dented cover. The cover gets me only Rs 5. So less for so much struggle!”
- “Don’t worry, dear! Luck may favor you tomorrow. Come, I'll treat you with full cup of chai today in place of our usual 50-50 shared. Okay?"
There was a Message from Above..
- ‘Nothing comes with you when you leave the world. Knowing this well, why don't you just live a life of optimum utilization including what you pass on to your kith and kin and beyond,
