TITLE: FROM OVER DEPENDANCY TO SELF RELIANCE


Not so long ago, people used to call glaziers and electricians to do odd jobs around the house but, nowadays, they rely on themselves.The master of the house had to undertake these tasks himself because many artisans were in the armed forces and away at war, and eventually, it bacame a habit with him.In the post war period, the number of artisans is limited and those who are available, charge high prices for their services.So, the householder has become quite adept at mending leaking pipes and broken chairs. So much so that in recent years , the "do-it-yourself" movement is growing strong and now, "do-it-yourself" kits are available which enable a man to build anything from coffee-tables to sailing boats.
