W for wrist watch, the first
wrist watch in my life was given by a parent, as a gift to me with gratitude,
as their kids passed in the exams.
I bought a second watch as a present
to myself, with a black dial and wore it with pride for many years, till that
stopped working, when I went for repair.
The charges were so high, I thought
instead of spending so much money for the old watch, better to buy a new
one. But then, I did not have a budget
for that particular month.
So while I was thinking of a new
watch for my wrist, I got a call from my brother, asking me to join him for
lunch, and in the conversation, I casually mentioned about my desire to get a
new watch! Guess what? in a matter of few hours, my brother took me to a show
room and got me a beautiful watch !
It was such a sweet surprise,
that I can never forget that day, the place where I had lunch and popular
showroom that displayed a variety of watches. This gesture from my brother
brought me immense joy.
I thanked my brother and took the
maroon strapped watch. Watch is definitely a very useful and a meaningful gift;
it reminds us to value
Time. It tells us that time does not wait for anyone. Time
is the most important aspect of our life, if we know how make use of the time,
we shall win every battle of our lives.
Every time I look at my watch, I feel
happy and grateful for the watch, I still cherish the watch, and I still wear
it every day to my office.
Be Blessed & Be Happy!
