And New It Shall Remain... Perhaps!!

Last week, I bought my subject books for this semester.

The words in the above sentence are pretty significant. Firstly, this semester is my last one, and after that, hopefully, I will be a graduate. Secondly, I bought my subject books for the first time during the course of my 3 year graduation, the reason being that I felt why should I buy books when they won’t be required after 2-3 months? So, I made most of the Rs. 370 my college charged me with at the time of admission under the head “Library Fees”. I got books issued on my card, sometimes even on others’ cards. I passed 5 semesters like this, BUT....... had to buy the books this time because for some reason the college authorities feel that the final year students will run away with their books! Honestly, I would better run away with a girl rather than a book called “Investment Management-Theory & Practices”! 

Chalo koi nahi, today I finally took a book out to study for the impending internals, but I JUST COULDN’T DO IT. The book looked so new, I thought why spoil it with my hands by studying. Right?  

Well, this has been my habit for long. I treat my new acquisitions and purchases so sincerely that I don’t want to tarnish their novelty by using them. Though some days later I lose all the interest and treat them as if I have had them for long. Let me give you some examples: 

• When I bought my new spectacles, I diligently kept them in their case, cleaning them with the cloth and with the special liquid especially meant for lenses. "New Lenses, I Should Keep Them New" was my motto.  A week later, I threw them here and there, trying to see how correct was the optician when he said “These are glass lenses, treat with caution.” All that cleaning was done way with, and the case meant for keeping the specs is now home to some stationery items.
  But till date, the glasses have not broken!! 

• When I finally bought my new cell, the SAMSUNG Smartphone, I strived to keep it new forever and ever. "SUCH A GOOD PHONE, IT DESERVES CARE" was my motto this time. I used to constantly wipe the screen with that same cloth meant for cleaning spectacle lenses! Few days later, while I was listening to music on my phone, which was comfortably perched on my bed, I jumped on to the bed and as my great great uncle Newton’s law states “Every Action Has A Reaction”, my phone jumped off the bed, infact underneath the bed!
  As I got hold of a torch to locate it under the bed, I found it at the corner, where it wasn’t easy to reach by any means. The situation now was that, my phone was lying beneath the bed, at the same time playing the songs on my playlist. It was fine as long as the music was PARENTS FRIENDLY; it became a little tough to handle when Mr. Yo Yo Honey Singh’s songs started!! So much for my resolve to care for my phone! But it’s been over a year now, its working fine, I have accidentally dropped it also many a times, but CRACK NAHI AAYA!! That’s what you call LOYALTY.

I can give numerous examples like this, but... why bother typing so much? Let’s save this topic for some other day then. Meanwhile, I will go and try to dishonour the beauty of my newly purchased books by studying them. Wish Me Luck :)

Until Next Time
Take Care :)
