Collector


From this post, I am gonna tell you about the wish to become an Collector. Ah-huh! Not by studying the IAS course and being in a collector post. I am telling about the Awesome things (many consider stupid) I collect. You too may find them stupid but I love the way I'm doing it.
There are two persons behind this very act.
A. Mr. Raja
B. Ms. Sindhujaah! ( Will be changing Mrs. on this month end)


It all started when I was in Aruppukottai when I was in my tenth grade. A colleague of my Dad's collected the tickets from the others and converted them into Money and gave it to Charity. I don't know how he turned them into money but I was quite sure that some guys gave money for the old tickets at a rate of 10 paise per old ticket. So there started my collection Career. I daily get the tickets from my friends who travel to school by bus. It became a big routine that many asked, "why didn't you come to get the tickets?" if I forget for a day. Many students were puzzled on seeing this act. I gave them reasons and they too helped me get some tickets.

The colleague whom I was mentioning was Mr. Raja. he is the main guy who inspired me doing this. And the second one is my favourite. It is non other than Sindhujaa- My Aunt. She is engaged now. her marriage is scheduled this month end 31st. I went to her home in my eleventh vacation. She showed some of her collectibles. Those included the Cinema tickets which she went along with her friends. So this inspired me a lot. There I started doing this crazy stuff.

 I collect Leave letters of my friends. These are the remaining. I lost many while shifting the home. The teacher actually asked me to get rid of all the leave letters but I saved some. I knew that it'd make a hell of a memory of the past in the future.


I collect this. If I get a new soap, I store the cover after taking the soap out the cover. This is the first costly soap I ever used.


This is my whole damn collection. I got in there bus tickets, bills, Cinema tickets, Wedding invitation of my teacher, my first greeting card photocopy, My friend's old glasses, the note given by the girl for the pens and a set of 22 chocolate papers with each of my friends signed. 



The first book I ever bought online. All thanks to Nagarathinam- The Dentist..



The Bus tickets I have for now.Still haven't converted them into money. Hope I will have it for a long time. I have only one rule. If I plan to preserve anything other than a food stuff I should store it till 2025. I don't know why but I try real hard for it.







So you got to know about the box of Dump. See you guys!! REAL SOON.....
