I FIXED IT !

We got an analogue BEN10 watch for EJ couple of months ago. Needless to say it stopped working a little after it lost it's novelty for him [which was about a week ;)] On recent inquiry, he was forced to look for it and reported it bust. So I declared it be FIXED instead of a purchasing a new one. After the local clocksmith diagnosed it as a case of dead power cell [even before opening it K] the argument against me was the cost of repairing versus purchasing a new one. Cost of power cell $1 [Rs.40] Much opposed by all family members, I GOT IT FIXED.

After a couple of hours we realized only the seconds hand was moving and the watch may end up showing the correct time only twice a day. On the  way back home, I stopped at the same clocksmith and demonstrated the problem. “Uska ‘movement’ change karna padega, saab”, once again without even removing the panel at the back of the watch L. The “movement”  cost $2 [Rs.80] and entailed replacing the whole small machine inside !!!! Yet, again after a token debate with family, I FIXED IT. Total cost of FIXING $3 ;  original cost of watch $2.5, which when added up is not far from the cost of the current demand of a Chelsea/Drogba watch - $7. [Football being the “flavor of the month”]

Through this experience JC observed silently and my “zidd” [Indian equivalent of something in between perseverance and stubbornness] bore fruition now that he’s started interjecting in between most conversations - “we kin oviously get a new one, but lets try en fix it, toh!?!”

PS – note its ‘oviously’ not ‘obviously’ ;)

Mastery Plan - III

Now that I have completed mastery of all the old seeds that were in the original Farmville, there seems to be some new ones that have been added. So here's the Master Plan for Mastery - Mastery Plan - III.

Assuming I started on the 1st working day of Aug [2nd Aug, 2010] I should finish by the end of October.
