WEEKEND MINDBENDER

ooooooooooooooooooooo

Green colour on the compound wall limewashed 4 years back is now stained with water marks. How did the weather and rain make black patches ? Acid rain ? Maybe.... Breaking down the old 50-year old wall and building a higher one - at least seven feet high with barbed wire all around.This will keep out the inquisitive intruders who take interest in peeking over the now short wall.With such an imposing compound wall a respectable iron gate with spikes is a must. The wall can be painted in washable weatherproof paint and the gate in a sinister shining black.

The cemented pathway is cracked. Roots of trees have grown underneath it and pushed up the cement. A dilemna.... Cut the roots ? No.. it's better to just fill the cracks with cement-concrete. Yes the path may become undulating and interesting to tread but after all it is MY HOUSE. The exterior of the house will be done with a matt-green weatherproof paint. Doors & windows brown-painted on exteriors & sunshine-yellow on the insides. Grills will also be sunlit-yellow. Ah.. now the house looks nice [at least from the outside]

Inside walls are stained with rain-water-marks. Maps of different countries stare at me all the while. Paint peeiling off the walls and ceilings cut a sorry yet well-used look.Some interior designer will take care of the colours and masons will do the rest. I had recently talked to a friend of mine who is in the interior designer business. He told me that all the old furniture needed to be thrown away and modern equipment moved in for a nice look.The 15-year old TV,my favourite 40-year old cheap wooden cupboard would be among the casualties.

The red-cement floor had to be taken off mercilessly. Smooth skid-free acrylic tiles are now in vogue." You need three wall-to-wall wardrobes and a Formica-top study tabae with a table lamp.I'll take care of everything.Give me a contract.I'll even arrange for the masons,carpenters and plumbers " "Plumbers ? what for !! " " The rest-room accessories are very much outdated... All need replacement... " I was pensive as I listened to his excited banter.

Maybe I'd get all the work done giving Mr Friend the contract for Rs.30,00,000/- Would you not ask why I didn't entertain him further & almost kicked him out. "... The trees in the frontyard need to be cutt off... I'll plant some nice new ones in their place. They'll look much better & people will marvel at your house.... " Friends & readers. scribbler-bishu is happy with whatever he has and shall not change anything till he is alive. Sorry to spoil your weekend. BTW who invited you ?
