Wise man advises that 'if you are about to buy a shirt, you must always stretch your limits and reach deep in your pocket and spend a dollar extra and purchase a better brand'. Few days back we understood the rationale behind this holy message and chiseled the learning deep into our hearts.
In March this year we renovated our newly purchased flat. The colouring overshot the initial schedule by couple of months squeezing the already tight budget. We began to cut the corners on other least priority things. Electric wiring faced the initial jolt as we decided to ignore the expert advice and bought the cheap material for it. The electric boards hung attractively over the newly coloured walls and made there presence felt with switches that would glitter. We felt happy for 'saving a dime'.
Few months down, on an August rainy day, the switches that glittered over one of the attractive electric board suddenly refused to obey our order and revolted by not allowing the fan, the tube light and the night lamp to function for us. This helpless situation attracted immediate attention and monetary means to attain resolution. This happened again in chilled December on another attractive board hallowing us with 'few more dollars'.
One cannot reap long-term rewards if the aspect of 'quality' is ignored either by choice or due to lack of foresight. The lesson is learnt once for all.
