Raphel Rand Son: A Journey from Skyscrapers to Soulful Artifacts 20-Sept-2023

In the bustling heart of Detroit, amidst the towering structures of steel and glass, Raphel Rand Son, a multi-millionaire real estate magnate, stands on the brink of completing his magnum opus—a colossal 101-story building that seems to pierce the heavens. The glint of mirrors and the luster of Chinese and Italian marble accentuate the grandeur of his creation, but amidst the opulence, there is a longing for something more, something soulful. Visitors throng to his architectural masterpiece, but Raphel feels the pressing need for an interior design that exudes auspiciousness and tranquility. Restless and far from calm, he confides in a friend who suggests a journey to India, a land renowned for its spiritual and artistic heritage. With his heart set on discovering a different facet of life, Raphel embarks on a journey to Goa, India. Having experienced the serenity of Mexican beaches before, he decides to spend no more than three days there and opts for an additional two days in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai. The city's relentless energy captivates him, but amidst the crowd, he yearns for a deeper connection.

One fateful morning, while perusing a newspaper, he stumbles upon an advertisement that changes the course of his journey—the Sherpa Trekking Company, renowned for its Mountain Trek Services. Nepal, it seems, is just a stone's throw away. Intrigued, he decides to venture into this mystical realm. Sherpa Trekking Company arranges an 11-day Mt. Everest trek for Raphel, combining flights and hikes. As he traverses the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas, he finds himself enraptured by the sheer beauty of nature. The mountains bestow upon him a profound sense of strength and inner peace. Amidst these serene peaks, words fail to capture his emotions. Upon completing his Everest trek, he continues his explorations in the heart of Nepal's capital, Kathmandu. During a visit to the ancient city of Bhaktapur, he encounters skilled artisans crafting intricate wooden doors, windows, and statues. The exquisite craftsmanship leaves an indelible mark on his soul, and he envisions these timeless pieces adorning the interiors of his skyscraper. With measurements in hand and a vision in his heart, Raphel contacts his interior design team and places an order with Nepal Art Shop Export & Import Pvt. Ltd. The order includes 20 meticulously crafted wooden doors, enchanting peacock windows, Buddha carving statues, beautiful wooden sculptures of graceful women, ornate wooden flooring sheets, and masterfully carved chairs and sofas. It takes nearly nine months for these masterpieces to make their way from the artisans' hands in Nepal to Raphel Rand Son's towering empire building in Detroit. Sharma Meera, the visionary behind Nepal Art Shop, pays a visit to witness the artifacts she worked tirelessly to create now adorning the skyscraper's interiors. The connection between creator and creation is palpable, and both are filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.

Raphel Rand Son, once a man of few words, now radiates contentment. His transformative journey from the cacophony of India's streets to the tranquility of Nepal's mountains, and the artistic treasures he discovered along the way, have left an indelible mark on his soul. He is eager to share his newfound serenity and love for art with his business associates, offering them yoga classes on the 7th floor and evening parties on the 99th floor, signaling a shift towards a more balanced and mindful life. Word has it that Raphel Rand Son is venturing into the world of filmmaking, immersing himself in the creative process. Some scenes for his upcoming movie are even shot within the confines of his newly adorned empire building, a testament to the fusion of art and real estate, and a symbol of his journey from skyscrapers to soulful artifacts.
