ITEMS OF MY HOME I HAVE UPCYCLED???

"Yaar! My Villa is ready and I would shortly be moving into my new residence but there's a problem..

I've lot of stuff with me in my old rented house which became my own by hierarchy. These items which suited old homes in towns in our elders' time, do not go with the modern homes..

I should modernize my home and all these old stuff in my house have to go. Of late, many fashions have come in market. There's no point in saying, 'Old is Gold' and for ever live in the outdated world. That's why, I straight away decided..

'All items in my house will change!'

• The old sofa has to go out.. The latest model.. I checked.. It's quite affordable.. It'll replace that..
• The dining table is going to be replaced by the latest sleek one that has come up in the market..
• These two photo frames look so shabby. I already selected two modern art pieces in their place. They'll decorate the walls..
• The table lamp.. I'm afraid to use it. The better one with spread of colorful light will be bought..
• The center table, the chairs and the old tape recorder.. All will be replaced..

Spending some monies on this change is truly worth. I don’t think I get much for this old stuff but whatever comes, that's the worth!”

Thus I was saying to my friend. 3 months later, the same friend was on phone..

“Dear! People say that the new Restaurant recently opened in outskirts is a classic one in our city with the best presentation of the surroundings. It seems from the day the owner opened it, his coffers are getting filled up very fast.. He had already made sizable profit on his investment..

It's not the food that is important many times; the environment where it is served.. Here, the owner had this interest and accordingly decorated the dining area and the waiting lounge..

I want to see this once.. Let's plan a visit there together. Any how, since you are interested in this line and is ready to constantly upgrade your home with class furniture items, you'll have some more ideas when we actually go there and see once. Can we make it next Saturday 7 PM and have our dinner there?”

I was thrilled..

"Yes, Yes! Let's go there. I'm very much interested in upgrading my home with the best interiors available in the market. I may get new ideas here. I can easily implement that in my house as the current furniture and other costly items with me definitely fetch an increased price today compared to my bought out cost as certain import restrictions have come up recently. I'm thrilled. Let's go!"

As per our plan both of us visited the place to have our dinner in the environment which had become the talk of the town..

As I entered the area and started closely observing the pieces of furniture and decorative pieces around, I vividly remembered some resemblances. Slowly it stuck me.. Not resemblances..

Many Items there were mischievously smiling at me at

THE GREAT MISTAKE I DID!

The unpleasant dream ended suddenly and I woke with a unknown feeling within me..

As I looked around, I found myself in my Villa with my old furniture intact and as I started recollecting my dream, I could relate that to the talk with my friend the day before on

HOW TO FURNISH MY VILLA WITH THE LATEST INTERIORS..

As I had a second look at

THE PRECIOUS ITEMS

In my home, slowly a smile came up on my face.. Yes..

OLD IS GOLD; NOTHING LESS!

That value of old many times is known only when they are replaced by the so called modern ones which however hi-fi they be, sure will be lacking the classic look and rugged structure, which items sure I can upcycle if determined. So the immediate decision of mine was..

'Old will rule for the present and new will wait till all those old items find their right place with right price!'

MY THEME FOR BLOGCHATTER A2Z2022..

My theme for Blogchatter A2Z2022 is presentation of content my Blog 'Reflecting on Life' which is an insight into the realities of life with its various problems around every one in our societies over which sometimes the individual feels helpless with no control. My stories, descriptions, quotes, humorous instances etc in this presentation bring out the fallacies of life which many times I value with no base..

Every one who is going to read these my postings would find something applicable to his/her own personal life whether he/she brings out thru' discussions openly or not..

My aim here is to spread this knowledge indirectly through a method which is well acceptable for any one so that he/she would pause, look into it, try understanding the realities and myths of life and instantly laugh over his/her own tensions for the moment. The postings definitely make them feel better and happy..

All postings published are my own experiences and perceptions of life put in different styles to make it acceptable for Readers in their own way..

I am sure my Readers never feel dejected with these readings even though they are the bare Truths of Life in spite of they having carried their belief exactly opposite to this but always would feel lighter and temporarily would be inspired..

Thank you Team Blogchatter for giving me this opportunity to present my content thru' Blogchatter A2Z2022 from 1st April to 30th April!

YES.. ONCE IN WAY, IT CLICKS!

The Customer rang up..

• “The activities are starting at 0630 PM. The time now is 0600 PM. The Supplies have not yet come!”

The Supply man replied,

• "Sir! We are on the way and we try come in time!”

The Customer was a bit annoyed. He rang up the Supervisor..

• “Your people should have been here by 0600 PM itself. They are saying that they are on the way. By chance they get delayed on the way?"

The Supervisor said,

• “Sir! No problem.. I'm coming there at 0615 PM itself and I follow up with my men!"

The Supervisor in turn rang up the Supply man, 

• ”Where are you?”

• “Sir! we are on the way and we'll be there only by 0645 PM!"

• “Ok.. Try your best to come early.. The Customer is already angry!" 

Next he rang up the Boss and explained the situation. The Boss asked,

• “Can all of you reach there by 0645 PM?”

• “That is very easy, Sir! In fact, I'll be reaching 15 mts earlier as I'm ahead in traffic!"

• “OK.. Be there at 0645 PM but tell the people there that you were waiting since 0615 PM and your men came there exactly at 0630 PM as per the Customer's wish!”

The Supervisor couldn't understand head and tail of what his Boss had said but just followed that. The Customer came to them at 0700 PM saying,

• "Is everything OK?”

They again repeated the Boss's words..

• “Good! Actually the activities start at 0730 PM but I just brought you in advance saying that it starts at 0630 PM!”

The Supervisor informed the Boss that finally everything was taken care of.. The friend with the Boss who was following all that asked,

• "Dear! How could you manage all this with such an open lie?"

The Boss smiled and said,

• "I saw the Customer going in front of our Office at 0600 PM in his vehicle. To reach his home, he takes 1hr min and that way he would be at home not earlier than 0700 PM. Without him the activities can't start. I estimated this and quickly told my folks to say that they were there in time. When the Customer reached at 0700 PM my people were already there, of course from 0630 PM and 0645 PM only..

I agree that there were many 'ifs' and 'buts' in this entire drama but I just took the calculated risk as there was almost no go there and luckily it clicked!”
