My watch and myself.

See, I am not usually a guy who maintains time and all. I was not actually good with watches. It has been my nature that if I get a watch I wear it for, like a two days then I just don't wear it at all. So I totally had thought that this watch would get the same treatment from this WATCH-THROWER Doctor! But it wasn't. It was my nearly 3 years back. There was a store called Shanmugam stores in Aruppukottai, where I did my 8th, 9th and my 10th grade. June was fast approaching. That means my birthday was on the flow. It could be here anytime. Normally I don't expect gifts but this birthday was made to meet my whole time companion which I didn't know at that time. I spent my days just as the normal days and before the day of my birthday, my dad took me to the store which I have mentioned in the earlier sentence. So, there I was standing before 'rows and columns'(this came to my mind because I wrote my Mathematics exams yesterday) of watches belonging to different brands which were not that big brands but some what my lined. I had no idea what to choose. Then this guy with his gold plated state attracted me and my mind said,"Choose that guy!".


So I chose him. Maybe it was that we were meant to be with each other. I looked no more. He got paid. Actually this is my shopping criteria. I don't look deep. The ones that look me first pick me automatically and I take them. That's it. Bill was given and the price was 450 rupees. Dad took his purse to give the money where my mind was still saying," Why spend 450 bucks for a three day tie on the hand?". But I bought and left the shop.

I don't completely (why the hell am I using 'ly' words in this post so much? Aren't I?) remember the first day I wore the watch in my hands. You know, because of my lean hand no watch fits perfect. I had to adjust it all the time. Since it was Gold plated (or I had just been cheated by being told so), I took more care in it. You have to first know that I am a big absent-minded guy( I'll get this into a post soon!). 

Since I am that kind of guy, I began to take care about the watch too much. As soon as I get home, I place my watch in the Cup board and spend the rest of the evening with bare hands. The next day, this continued. So did the third day. Fourth day wasn't the same. I forgot the watch to school. Wearing discontinued and forgetting continued. So I decided never to undo the watch from my hands.



Yes, it worked. I had to undo only when I had to attend my nature's call and the showering time. I got so much bonded with it. Even I forget to see the time on the wall clock but not in my hand clock. It became more and more attached to me. The same happened in me. It became a situation that I feel uncomfortable without the watch. I was wearing my watch in the Left hand only for, like a year. But one day Mom told me that she used to wear it in the right hand. It is a rare thing. Not many do this. I decided to be one of the few. Till now I have this very watch which I am talking about in my right hand. If it had life, it would be the only one that knows everything about me.

So, that's it folks. This is Raja Guhan wearing his watch and loving it more than anything else!
