It ends



Finally, after a more than a month, the work on our house has finally come to an end today.

Upstairs was pure hell, as we didn't have the benefit of shifting out. In the ensuing chaos, as I have pointed out earlier, many important things got lost, and quite frankly, the fortune of DPS at competitions has been drastically changed as a result.

Added to this ignominity(what a nice word) was the complications that arose from having Colorblind Painters.

Now, workmen in India are generally incompetent. They're lazy, never follow schedule, and always end up wanting more money than they settled on in the first place. But they generally have a vague conception of what they're doing. Now, being colorblind is one of those things that painters simply should not be. It goes against their fundament, their purpose, but such was life.

Green turned into off-white, Brown into off-white, and if they weren't stopped, my room would probably have been a distinct shade of Mauve. If anyone knows what Mauve is, please feel free to point it out to the painters.

Well, anyhoo, many rooms actually had to be painted twice over, and the shade of green my mother actually wanted for her room, is in the hallways, which, of course, are off-white.
