Day -6


Windfall - an unexpected, unearned, or sudden gain or advantage.
A newspaper article today put me in touch with some of my long lost contacts in the Automobile world from the rest of India. Now what would you call that but a windfall.

We're all ready to put up our tentative plans and map tomorrow morning. Tiring and busy day today with a desperate need to catch up with some sleep. Caught up with some other competitors profiles to check what we would be up against and think we are in a good situation to get Top slot. Knowing so many people has not helped us gather tons of votes but what we have is worth its weight in Gold. Managed to touch 212 Votes & 21 testimonials. Guess in today's world people are too busy to look into such things except for very close friends and family who know what we are up to.
That reminds me - Recycle. There was a time when we used to fix things but unfortunately even in India there is a change where in we are replacing things instead of fixing them. There were times when rusted Fiat car doors were patched and fixed and today a dented door gets replaced. Have we stopped to think why and what the repercussions could be? The simplest thing that comes to mind is that the skilled Tinker just lost an opportunity. More scrap was generated. More raw material got used. Why? Can we put a stop on wasteful excess?
Think! 'Waste not, Want not'
Good night.
