A task in hand
Once when I entered the spacious domain of Shopper’s stop where my sister works and I get special treatment from all the Customer Care Executives, I noticed these nice wooden frames hanging down in continuous trail from the ceiling. I was fascinated by the simple and raw looking frames and somewhere deep within me the sleeping creative was stirred wide awake.
I asked my sister - the source of the creativity hanging down the ceiling - what she planned to do with them. “Nothing” she said. So, with a bright face I told her to get some of them for me once done with her display. I had a rush of vague ideas of how I could make use of these frames in my new apartment.
Another bright day when I entered my mom’s house she reminded me to take the frames with me. But as usual I forgot to carry them. After some three four reminders when one day I said “Ok where are they” I didn’t have the faintest idea that the frames were two big bag full of the frames.
Looking at them I told my mom to keep them to store them till I could carry them home.
Just two weeks back while enjoying the barbecue party I saw that everyone was generously using some wooden frames to start the fire. And then I realized that those were the very frames I had told to store. Somehow while shifting the frames found their way to Di’s house. And, I told di to keep a few of them for me. I shared my ideas with her and she was also interested. Although, the idea was not anything concrete but was enough to stir her imagination as well. And it resulted in both of us storing away the frames hidden from the boring, unimaginative minds who only found them fit to start a barbecue.
Now the frames are nicely tucked away in a safe corner till I find some good idea. But it better be soon lest I only forget my big plan for them. For the time being the idea playing in mind is to arrange them randomly and place some nice framed pictures of everyone in between the frames. If time permits I would change the raw look of the wooden frames by using some acrylic paint or some ceramic.

Yes, the frames are securely kept in a corner and infact I also tried to mount some on the orange wall in my guest room and was getting an idea how good it will look. But since I am still not very friendly with the drill machine, I have left the frames half hanging so that your jiju can fix it soon. We are getting the guest room ready and have ordered a new bed as well.
BTW we have had many more successful barbecue party after that incident and now everyone has learnt the lesson. This saturday was best so far as we got surmai, and it tasted so good. We all were remembering Anand, especially papa.
