What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
We love all our things. But there are some things which are dear to us the most. I too have some things which I am very fond of. In my childhood, my grandfather gave me a gold ring which I still like very much. Now it does not fit my finger but I have kept it till date. The jewellery which my mother gave me at the time of my marriage is also very dear to me. At the time of my marriage, my mother gave me a sheet on which she had embroidered it with her own hands. I have kept it safely till date.
After marriage, when we went to Darjeeling for the first time, I bought a shawl from there. I still like it very much and I have kept it carefully. There are many other things which I have kept carefully, but the most important for me are the cards which my children made for me on my birthday when they were small with their tiny hands. After 30 years, I have kept them very well.
