Sometimes, I imagine I am going to be a very famous person, and one day someone will show up with a cache of my previously-unseen writings, that will sell for millions. I can justify—how else can my writings disappear from my desk ever so frequently even when I am extra careful with them?
Perhaps there is a gang of memorabilia thieves that steals possible memorabilia from people who show the potential to be great. If so, I would be flattered to have been considered a target for stealing. I would gladly give them my worn underwear, if that is what they want, if they can take guarantee that I am going to be someone whose random doodles and mediocre writings are so valuable.
It is surprising how frequently ‘new writings/artistic creations’ and ‘personal possessions’ of famous people who are already dead are discovered. How can these have remained intact for so many years, in this world full of mothers who do not want to see anything that cannot be worn/ used as household item older than two years thrown away, even though the item may carry lots of emotional attachment? What mother would have allowed the existence of childhood toys of a now-bygone star in the basement of a completely unrelated person? It’s unbelievable. It’s all a lie.
Instead, it is more likely that the scouts of the aforementioned gang spotted the individuals before they became famous, befriended them, and gradually stole small items from them so that they could be sold later on. This hypothesis can also explain a lot of historical mysteries, like the Shroud of Turin, the Holy Grail, Buddha’s teeth and hair, and the footprints of Lord Ram too, so it should get the credit it deserves too.
There’s probably a secret vault somewhere with all my lost pens and writings that will be sold to collectors sometime in the future. I am now looking for the person who is after my personal artifacts—I want to guide him about which artifacts would probably be more valuable. I suspect Ro, but I have reasons to suspect several other people.
I suspect Su will become a famous person too, and he is already aware of the personal memorabilia gang. He offers his personal belongings to anyone who is interested—his locker is always open and his tube of toothpaste is one of the four tubes in public use in the house right now.
