Prompt - Something New

"It takes all the fun out of a bracelet if you have to buy it yourself."

-Peggy Joyce

Well Peggy Joyce or no Peggy Joyce but I do love receiving bracelets as gifts.

And this one is a gift from mum and dad.

And there is a story to it.

It was in year 1997 that I came to know about the festival of hearts ... courtesy Dil To Pagal Hai.

And I remember having taken my father by surprise by asking him for a valentine gift for myself.

He was going to Delhi for some reason and he promised me to get one. And he did.

He got me a beautiful bracelet that I still wear to date.

Ever since then I have been asking him for my gift and I have been getting something in the month of February. Not necessarily 14th. But that does not matter.

Last year it was a jacket.

This year, it is this bracelet.

Trust me, I did not ask for anything this year. He had already bought so many things for me.

But this one came as a surprise. I got it at the beginning of the month but the tagline was

"and ... this is your valentine day's gift".

I absolutely love this new addition to my collection.

And am I waiting for an apt occasion to wear it!!!

Thank you, dad and love you :)

I will also need some tips to be able to click better photographs of sparkling things in future.

I clicked these by turning off the flash.
