Got Lucky with Money

It is a rare occasion in India wherein people dispose of unnecessary things from their homes. Well, today I got lucky for the second time when another of my colleagues relocated to a newly purchased house near Delhi.

Apparently she decided to get some new furniture for the new house. She decided to sell and dispose off certain items.

I was lucky in a way that I was the first one whom she informed about her moving. I was immediate and asked are you disposing off your dining table. She said Yes and I was the first one to book the dining table free of cost. The table is a 6 seater wooden table with an antique look. I came to know later that the dining table is an antique and was auctioned in US embassy some 20 years back. The price that I paid for the table is Nil. I had saved some Rs. 20000 to purchase a new dining table which I was gonna purchase in a few days. I used the money to purchase some stocks in the falling Indian Stock Market.

I had got a double bed the same way I got the dining table.

This is another use of leveraging my relationships.
