People give the darnest of things. Sometimes I have no clue what to do with it. And I specially love the show pieces that they give. Once I got a clock held together by two elephants, once I got a fake fish bowl with fake fish in it (you have to plug it in), a desk set with my name engraved on it (wrong spelling), tons of card holders, notepads, a serving tray, glass coasters, stumps (yup cricket stumps meant to be an invite), a Buddha look alike statue (pretty though), mugs and some more mugs, mug with my name etched on it, and other paraphernalia. But the last one I got took the cake. It’s a ceramic plate with some enameling work done on it. It’s pretty no doubt, but for hell of me I can’t figure out what to do with it. I have no clue to its possible use.
There is no hole at the back to hang it. It did not come with a stand to put it on somewhere as a desk top, its not even flat that I can use it for keeping hot vessels. Its just there. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. It is very pretty but it’s just there. So it’s one more thing that adds more color to my already colorful desk.
I even tried to keep it as mouse pad holder.
Nahhhh… not happening.
I even managed to chip while it was just lying there. Oh the things people gift you. I wish it was atleast ugly. I could have thrown it, but now since its pretty I cannot throw it. I do not want to risk living the rest of my miserable life as a person who could not understand or even appreciate art, in whatever form of style. Have I no respectable right brain throwing away this pretty, pretty, ehhhh.. pretty ceramic enameled plate. How sad could I be…. :(
So now its just there. one more dust gatherer on the desk, one more color disseminator, one more wise crack attractor....
