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!
