Watches are so named as a reminder, if you don't watch carefully what you do with your time, it can slip away from you. - Drew Sirtors
I liked wearing a wristwatch as early as my school times. Issue was, they always broke, got moisture from water, or somehow their battery stopped.
Finally, one day, in my 9th standard, my uncle finally got me a new watch and said, 'Lets see you break this.'
Oh how I loved that watch!
If it fell down, it didn't stop, water didn't hurt it, no matter what happened to it, it just didn't stop working all through my college years.
It was only when I started working and got educated about brands through my friends, I realised my watch was water proof, super solid
and was a 'Titan' product which would have costed huge in the 90s.
Today I have smart watches, counting my steps, heart beat and a host of other stuff. I still have my old Titan in a jwellery box ( told you I loved it). Yet when my company gave me a normal watch on New Year, it made me smile.
On days when I want to be free of the extra knowledge coming my way, I wear that.
Maybe in this age of digitization and AI, sometimes that's a day we all need- a sweet memory from the past and a break from too much information.
