One fine day while i was inside the safe, a family called by the name of taneja came to the shop.

while these thoughts were growing at me, at last, one day, i found my way to the hearts of a family. This continued to be my routine life and to be honest at times i even wondered why i had to be so beautiful and expensive that i have to bear the pain of a long boredom, and no one wants to buy me and give me a new lease of life elsewhere. all this makes me feel fresh and alive till, i am once again put inside the locker of the godrej safe. this praise boosts my spirit and feels that after all life is not really bad here even in the shop. i can see people coming in and going out, discussing jewels and other things of importance and most of all enjoy people coming to see me and praise me. However, when i am set in the showcase outside enjoy myself. inside the safe, i am believed to be secure, but believe me i get suffocated there and my prayers go out to god to send a customer quickly, who would take me out of this congestion. Here, i lie sometimes in the showcase, at other times in a godrej safe in the shop. i am settled in a jewellery shop in an area called connaught place. When i am fixed in slot set for me in one big box, and i see my reflection in the glass in front of me, even i wonder at my excellent beauty and shine and dance with joy in my heart. one necklace, two bangles, two earrings, and one ring. now, i consist of six different items of jewellery i.e. yes i do agree there is no gain without pain, so, only after all the diamonds bore the pain of being cut to size, the result was the beautiful me.Īfter being made to completion, i was placed in a case of maroon velvet and packed up. When each diamond was being cut and polished, i very distinctly remember many of the little ones screeched in pain, but when they were all set together into one big piece of jewellery, it became a beautiful set - that is me. Regarding my birth, i am not at all aware of the time and the place, but i remember my younger days when i was being set in the platinum frame. a diamond is, i believe a very expensive stone, and, as for me -i am a complete set of several diamonds neatly set in platinum.' it is believed that i am the treasure for the elite rich of any society.

I am given to understand that, my beauty is unmatched, and so is my value in money.
