Memorabilia Goes Under The Hammer...




Calling upon all the connoisseurs of historical artifacts!
Here is your chance to own a part of History!

We offer you a chance to acquire certain antiquities from the life of a certain Mr. Ameya Vaidya!

These are his priceless possessions which he used during various points of his life. They have been recovered from unimaginable nooks and crevices of a certain place at about 55 feet above sea level in the very heart of the ever vibrant city of Mumbai. If you thought treasures are found only under the overpowering sands of the desert, or leagues under the all encompassing waters of the ocean, or in the midst of wild and dense forests or atop the snow-capped peaks of the mountains, you were wrong!

They are also found in a two bedroom flat in Mumbai!!!

Following is the list of items put up for auction: (refer the above graphic)

1. Nokia 6220: Had been a valued companion during many years; right from std. Xth upto TYBtech Electronics Engineering. It has witnessed the transformation of a nondescript school boy into a good-for-nothing College Kumar!

2. Wristwatch: Original Timex Expedition with leather belt, which even Brett Lee (brand ambassador) does not possess.

3. Spectacles: They hold sentimental value to him because they were responsible in eradicating the tag of Harri Puttar which had become attached to his personna due to his earlier and first pair of dhapans!

4. Old Pencil Box: This is probably the first scientific calculator to be used by him. It was looked upon as a magic wand to survive the gruesome Math Orals which happened twice a week in the primary school days. Ameya thought he could still give answers without knowing the 'tables' by heart! If only it could be allowed during the CAT - he still does not know the tables by heart!

5. Signature Cricket Ball: This is a season ball bearing the autograph of Javagal Srinath-India's leading bowler and the autograph of Coca Cola-one of the world's biggest soft drink brands. Ameya spent a lot of his time during the 1999 world cup consuming coca-cola in order to garner enough bottle caps to win this souvenir!

So it is time for all Vijay Mallays and James Otis' to cash in on this once in a life time opportunity to own a part of History! Yes your cash which comes in(to us) will help us survive this recession!

We shall accept all bids online on the 'Comments' page of this blog. The starting bid for auspicious reasons has been accepted at Rs.1/-...

So bid before the hammer falls!

Note: If any individual or institution objects to this auction they can contact us and we shall think of suspending it only if the same individual or institution sponsors our travel to 78 countries to spread the message of Mr. Ameya Vaidya!

thnx a lot!
Well u see i am just following a very good strategy shown by James Otis!

Sell it first at exorbitant prices constantly defying GOI claims(valid) by giving stupid alternate arrangement options...

then after u get the money come out somberly(drunk to the point of insanity) and say the auction was illegal, return all items...

Who the hell is he kidding!

Javagal Srinath????? u actually consumed litres of poison for javagal srinath!!!!!! unbelievable!!! btw these artifacts wd fetch u enough money for the treat next month...so good luck with the auction...
P.S. I abstain from bidding as you might have noticed.

Ameya H Vaidya said...

Hahaha!

Well Javagal Srinath was a great bowler man! At least he bowled less short deliveries (which even i can hit to the fence) when compared to Venkatesh Prasad!

And do you remember the famous and only shot in his batting arsenal! He tried so hard to heave the cherry out of space!!!!!

Prasad Vaidya:
About the auction: This auction is completely justified since it is better that the original possessor only gets all the money and not some calculative capitalist 50 years after his passing! So I will also put in my bid at Rs. 0.99 'coz I do not want to disturb the auspicious bid!!
About the Cricket ball: This cricket ball actually has no brand value. Ameya, I would give you my own signature on a 100 season balls and those will also fetch you some good money, but not this one. I will rather pay not to remove this article from the auction.
So, please declare the results!!!
