If I won a hundred thousand rupees

Am I ready to blog about this week’s theme, “Suppose you won a lottery of a hundred thousand rupees, how would you like to spend it ?”

If I had won a lakh of rupees in a lottery, how would I spend it? An interesting question!

What would my shopping list contain? It cannot contain cars which I am very fond of. Maybe it would have been there if I had won Rs 25 lakh. 

My list would certainly have a diamond ring, some nice pens, maybe some watches, a smart phone, some shirts, a camera and maybe another pair of sunglasses. It is very materialistic. Is it not ?

But do I need them? That is a question which is very difficult to answer. Even if I win a lottery, it is a very difficult question to answer. 

I know that I do not need them. But that is human mind. You will still want them.

I have many, many shirts. Since I have not changed much, I still have shirts which I bought when I was in college as a student. I don’t part that easily with my clothes. So my cupboard is full of them. 

I love pens and the number of expensive pens I have, I am not sure whether I am using them even once in three months. What purpose does it serve to buy so many of them? I know I am wrong, but I still end up buying them when I see something different.

What about watches? It is fascinating to see the number of watches on display and I end up buying a lot of them. I know a few of my friends who don’t wear watches any more because they have mobile phones to refer to for the time.

Diamond rings also fascinate me. Oh, the different designs that you get! I can’t get over them.

I had this habit of buying lottery tickets when I was in college. I would buy five tickets for Rs 5, of the Karnataka State Lottery, which had a weekly draw, for about a year or so. I did win some money. The most I got was Rs 100 or so a couple of times, and I would win the cheaper denominations of Rs 5 and  Rs 10 a little more often. 

Maybe I should try all over again and hopefully win, at least Rs 1 lakh and buy these that I have mentioned, whether I need them or not.
