Old made new

From childhood I have the habit of making new from old things. We were not well of
that time and I used to like varieties in everything. So I used to make a necklace
out of artificial pearls which was boughtonce. With the same pearls every week I used
to make new designs and wear it. From thepearl earing which I had I used to remove
the pearls and stick clay on it and stickstones and make a new earing.

Then when I grew up and started wearingsarees, I used to get the sarees printed
and make it new or dye it. People used tothink they are new sarees.


After I got married since my husband isvery economic he never likes to spend
money on unnecessary things where as Im fond of all new things. So from the
God's photos which I had I have put them in the box type card board boxes in which
we get sweets or dry fruits. My children'ssnap with their spouses I have put it in
a dry fruit box only.

Today while I was shopping I bought rasna packets 5 nos. for Rs. 2 each. I was just
thinking I should put them in a bottle with water and make a juice out of that and put
attractive lable on top. People might think its some new juice.

Now a days so many things are made from the old . Old movie is made into a new one.
Old songs are re mixed and made into a new song.

Somethings I have tried to make them new from the old but me and my husband have
become old. I am not able to make ourslevesnew. I like ourselves to be old only as
old is gold.

If the inside contents has to be good then the outer cover should be attractive. Then
only people will see the inside contents.


Every day I think I should write something new and send to IL to receive more feedbacks
and win the FP. But though sometimes I have got many feedbacks still my post has not been
selected for finest post. Must be something missing in my posts just as when you
cook if there is no salt or if it is notspicy it does not taste good. In my posts
also something must be missing. Either the title is not attractive or the spice is
missing or humour is not there. Anyway oneday I am sure I will reach my goal.

 

Dear Cheeniya Sir

You have made my day. Getting your feedback that too the first
one is itself like getting a FP award. Good to know that my threads
are good. I know that there are so many good writers here and
they should definitely get the FP Award. I have no words to tell
you how happy I am by getting your feedback. Thanks a million
for your loving words.

Dear Mindian

I am honoured by your reply and u touched my heart with your
feedback. Since I got Cheeniya sir's reply I felt very happy.
Getting a feedback from Cheeniya Sir is something great na.
Otherwise I would have felt very bad. Then there was Bhargavi
who gave me inspiration and now you. Yesterday only I was
thinking noone is giving feedback let me stop writing. But after
I got your feedback I got the enthusiasm again. I dont know
though by age I have become old my heart is still like a child
craving for love and affection.

with love and blessings.

I just read this old thread of mine and was glad to see Cheeniya Sir's first feedback and was so happy. I got only three feedbacks for this thread but was happy because the feedbacks I got is from great writers . Sriniketan and Mindian were great writers and now they are not active. They were my close friends too. Sriniketan had helped me in the beginning how to write and she had a thread A to Z where we used to meet everyday and I had started a thread in which Mindian and others used to chat. I have met Mindian two,three times.
