People enjoy collecting stamps, coins, antiques, and othrer valuables, whereas 42yr old Rajendra Rathi, of Sowcarpet finds pleasure, collecting Keychains of all kinds.
From plastics to precious metals,, Mr. Rathi has a rare collection of different varieties of keychains. It all started 25 years back, when he went on a school excursion, he was struck by this keychain seller on the roadside and got his first keychain of his collection from him. From then on he has had a strong desire to collect more and more of these and store at home. Today he has about 5000 keychains to his credit ranging from Plastics, fur, mud, white and black metals, bamboos, wood, silver and gold.
About 10% of his collection are made by him. When asked him how he finds time for all this after work and family chores he says with a confident smile, "After work watever time i have i devote for this completly", and moreover his family extends their fullest support to help him continue his untiring passion, his children always help him find new keychains and his wife patiently arranges them in a systematic and definite pattern which really serves as a visual treat.
