Glass Bangles

Glass Bangles ........mm I love them very much. From my childhood my grand mother used to get them for us for all the functions. She used to call the seller to our house or she will take us to the shops at the time of Navarathri. Because we are not allowed to wear glass bangles on school days.:thumbsdown

So we, me and my sister will be waiting for any function so that we can wear them. After coming to 11th std. I studied in a Hindu school and they will allow us to wear glass bangles. Usually my friends ask me 'is your father a bangle seller'?

Because I will be having a huge collection of bangles and I will change them daily and I used to make many combinations and wear.

Daily in my class, my friends will wait to see what I am wearing on the day. I usually get all my bangles from a near by shop. So if the shop keeper gets any new design bangle or new colour bangle he will call me or my brothers and tell about the bangle.

Hearing that we will go there to get them. The old man will say that I am having more bangles than his shop. How is this?:-D

But after some time, when I entered college, I could not find my size bangle in this shop.:-( So I started going to Ranganathan Street to get them. My friends also used to come with me and they also started pur. the bangle. We will visit to 'Pookadai' in Paris to get super update model bangles.

For my 'Seemandam' we got many bangles from there only. My father and brother arranged 23 one side and 22 another side and brought them for me. I was so happy to see that.

After Krishna's birth slowlly I reduced wearing them. Because when you hold him, they will break. So I am afraid to wear them, and stopped wearing them. I gave all my bangle collection to my sister and friends. Even my servent maid took some.

Now after seeing many new bangles in big sizes in the net I am thinking of putting them again.:clap

For the past 20 years I stopped putting them regularly. But I will wear them on functions. And who ever I see on Navarathri time I used to get them glass bangles only. And now a days I used to pur. many plastic , metal bangles which I like very much and I will keep them in my house. It is a very handy gift which we can give to girls who visits our home.

Red - Energy

Here are some tips about bangles:

• The smaller the bangles around your wrist, the less likely they are to break.
• Before you wear the new bangles, Put them in hot water for 10 - 15 min. So that life of the bangle will be more. That means they will not break easily.
• If you are going to wear smaller size please use scented oil or soap.
• Generally it is adviseble to remove them before going to bed.
