My New Bracelet

Last week I bought myself a new bracelet all metal and all worth its price. I placed it in my wardrobe thinking i will open the box the next day and wear it.

Day two of new bracelet at home and I end up being late for my doctors appointment(as i wanted to get checked for my throat ache) But, I so so so so HAD to wear my bracelet. Just as if the doctor would notice and say 'Woah...! Nice Bracelet Nandini' instead of giving me my routine check up ! i got ready and decided and I will wear it come what may and it began.

The darn packaging had to be so good, I thought to myself. I plunged into my kitchen shelf and fished out my scissors. Before I knew it I chopped into the thick plastic wires that fastened the watch to its casing. Oops my kitchen scissors...but who cares, I needed the bracelet now....

Finally, finally the casing gave way. Beautiful, silver and marvellous- I thought atleast that is how i felt back then since it kept me away from my bracelet.

Just when I thought I was a few seconds away from wearing my new accessory, did i notice that it seem to be reluctant to come out of its bo. Ok! Now what ? I thought to myself. Oh my doctor can wait a few minutes, she makes me wait anyway! Argh. It didnt seem to get any better. I dashed for the knife, the net best thing I could find from the place I stood. I began working my way through the hind of the box to allow the bracelet to fall through. I cut and cut and cut...almost using the knife as a saw.... and there it was MY BRACELET!

But before I knew it, I heard metal clunk against the flooring and saw a little metal piece roll toward my kitchen trash. Oh! it was actually gone....... After all the struggle it was gone! And time was too.... I was so consumed in breaking open the box that I was too late to go the doctor.

Then I saw it.... a little sign embossed on the box that said ' Press here to open' I did so and did too. Open up! Could I hate myself or the box or the manufacturers or whom or what?

I've been here many times....trying to do one thing fast, before another more important one.

and end up not gaining anything worthy at all. We all have been here I'm sure.... Messing up our priorites, But in the end there is one thing I have come to hate, Packages!!!! See how much one can lose / Why in the world do they not print the 'Open Here' part in a more visible way.

I guess they just like to have fun with poor consumers like me.

And what did i do with my bracelet? I managed to get the metal piece fixed back in place and decided to just keep it away in my cupboard.....Yes dont ask me why! I really dont know why i didnt feel like wearing it again..... Some things in life go unexplained, this is one such thing for me.
