One of the ideas that I had while driving my car in solitude :-), is how about we do a KV Garage Sale + Auction (as part of the Spring Picnic). Everyone has some items in their home which are not being used and probably could be used by someone else.
Some supporting concepts to help make this a reality.
a) Minimality: Do you really need that many things to live with? 🙂
b) Break free of Possessiveness: Yes, we all keep things thinking we will use them in future. Its hard to let go sometimes. However Things in boxes are really not having a great time in there. They rather be outside.
c) Fun: Apart from the 2 serious points above, the third concept is just to have fun. Exchange things. And we can have a fun auction for some of the things too. We will keep it short and simple.
If anyone has a good name for this “KV Garage Sale + Auction” please suggest it. Unless there are strong objections this looks like becoming a part of this year’s Spring Picnic as part of the 100th edition celebrations of KaVita.
Is there a kutchi word for Garage Sale or Auction?
Had a similar thought – not like the items you mentioned but kids clothes, toys etc. The word for auction is “leelaam” – it is in hindi and maybe in kutchi too 🙂
Bhavini, did you mean neelaam ?
Leena, u r right – neelam in kutchi.
Traditionally in small towns we would have a weekly markets and people would say Bazar lagi aay aaj.
So we can keep someting like Neelam Baazar
So Shall we call this “KV Bazaar” or “KV Nilaami” or “KV Flea Market” or something else?
I suspect this can be a regular feature each year or every 6 months. Hence the request for a nice name.
– Good Idea Overall.
– On point a & b – look who is talking? Someone is storing x number of cricket bats & stumps since n years in hope to make something creative out of it 😉
– ??? Baazar could be seperate event by itself and not clubed with picnic
I vote for KV Bazaar. I have my doubts about the auction funda.
We are going to miss it 🙁 Had it happened before we moved, we would have found a new home for the many things which we had to dump in the garbage.
this is a great idea!
