Ha, i had a turmoil this weekend as I lost my hardearned,favourite precious gold bracelet which was embedded with American Diamond and Amethyst crystals in it. I donno how i lost it during my usual weekend visit to temple with Mom.
When the gold is hitting record high price in the market, the loss i have incurred with materialistic value attached to it is, quite alarming. But more than that, it was a cute one admired my colleagues and friends for its intricate design. As Indians,we attach too much of value to it interms of emotional and religious benefits.
When Varamahalakshmi Puja is arriving, it is auspicious to buy gold where as here i am at loss. But that's it. What's my loss is somebody's gain! You remember it for a day .week and then you try to forget and go for a positive mode philosophically, when it was never yours, you lose it or your waywardness,carelessness in keeping it safe.
But I was relieved when my mother said words precious than gold." You are more precious than that yellow metal. You can always buy another one but I have only one golden daughter". Mom's the word!
