My favourite watch

At present, I don’t own a single wrist watch. Till few years back I had minimum 5-7 watches. From my first job I was saving money from the stipend I received to buy an elegant wrist watch. But before that could actually happen I lost my most favourite watch. It was gifted to me when I was almost 13 year old by my Maasi. From then I started collecting more and more watches. This one was quite smart, lot of people use to love the dial. Then I also had a delicate bracelet kind of watch, few gifted ones, some I permanently borrowed from my Mom and Dad :-P

The one I stole from my Dad’s collection was my second most favourite one. A men’s watch, whenever I wore it someone or other always passed a comment saying that the watch is bigger than my wrist. Still I was too proud and happy to don it. I am too fond of matching my accessories with my clothes, and watches were part of it. I had different type of watch for different moods and occasions. And it was so much fun selecting a watch every morning according to the outfit and flavour of that particular day.

But one fine day, while travelling in an overcrowded train I lost my favourite watch with the smart dial. I realised it pretty late. I didn’t create any drama, didn’t shed a single tear (very unlike me) but from then on I never wore a wrist watch. I gave away other watches as well from my collection.

Yesterday while chatting with my cousin, (actually she’s my niece but I prefer calling her my cousin) :-P I got nostalgic. She received a beautiful watch as her birthday gift. And very soon I had flashes of my favourite watch. Thank you Shweta, you indirectly inspired me. Very soon I will gift myself a beautiful watch.

Till then have a wonderful time peeps J :-*
