I just came to know that I lost my gold bangle which weighed 36gms roughly around 1300$!!! It was a gift from mymother. I have no idea how i lost it. happy
It has a sentimental value and it is expensive too. the bangle was passed on to me from my mother which she got from her mother. Again, granny got it from her mother!!!..I am very sad about the loss and how much ever I try to distract myself, only it comes to my mind. Not to mention the shocker I am to get when I say about it to my family!!!cry

Hi Malpoa,

I am really very sorry for that happen, similarly I have
been lost one of most favorable rings which I have got from my mum
and also it has more sentimental value, when I have lost that ring
really I am so sad and some days I am cried without knowing by others,
so still I am thinking about that sorrows. I am really understanding
about your feeling and also it is so sad that and also hope that we will
get some sorts of supports from our family members. I am wishing you best
of luck to have the good life without any more worries.

Have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

binthu,
i know, but i donot feel like crying i feel helpless and angry for being so careless and my nature of taking everything for granted--i should control it...
my mother is visitingme in a week and i do not know how to present it to her...waiting for the shocker...

Hi Malpoa, maybe it will yet turn up somewhere in the house, if not I'm sorry that you lost it. You should report it to the insurance company but that will only return the monetary value and not the sentimental value.
I've never lost anything expensive.


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

lucky you thea. and this is the first time i lost something expensive, about sentimental things, there were enough people to steal or take things away from me. the bad thing is that i havent insured it. if it is gone then it is gone for ever. but i wonder why anyone will only take that!!! it wasnt definitely left alone somewhere...it surehad company...i expect to find it atleast some time later...

Really sorry to note that you have lost a valuable bangle. With the prices of gold going up, it is quite difficult to digest this loss. Particularly, since it is an old pieces, the sentimental value will be quite high.
I hope you will find the bangle, I do not think it will disappear just like that into thin air.


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

It is!!! It sure is!!! to aggravate my worries,I couldnt resist taking up the newspaper to find out today's gold price and calculate my loss!!! It was another shocker!!! when you have soemthing you do not value it, when you lose it...I literally naggg!!!
Losing is easy...i cant afford to buy one such piece now!!!

Hi malpoa, I am not going to say u deserve to be spanked.:) Nor am I going to tell u that it would over generations get an antique value, or it held some blessings for u. U will hear plenty of that from others. I am just going to say, look carefully, may be u will find it in some unusual place. And I am going to say, look after other family heirlooms. And repeat what one of my dear friend who is no more told me, if u lose any monies, dont grieve. Think god has taken it away from u now for sometime in future when u will genuinely need it. It will come to u, when u need it the most.


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

wow vnadana, I felt good reading it...three people I talked to gave me the ame idea to look at most unexpected places...I am too unpeaceful to check all the other places, but I will soon. I am not grieving, I havent shed a tear...when my husband cmae home and saw my glum face he said tto forget about it!!! I thought he would feel bad about losing it!!! And when I asked whether he would buy me more bangles he thought for a while and said, I would get you a lot of kaanch ka choodi...hi hi it did bring a smile on my face hi hi

I am so sad to hear that because I have lost some valuable gifts from my girlfriend before.

As you have said above, the bangle should be the hereditary treasure in your family, so it is a priceless treasure for you and your family. In my opinion, at first, you should try your best to find it out. Don't lose your courage and perhaps it is just in somewhere in your house or some places else. If you can't find it, then perhaps you should buy one as a substitute. Although it is not a wise action, it may be the only choice to do.

Hope you can find the bangle as soon as possible. Wish you success.

It really depends upon the way how I lost it. If I was robbed or held up, I would still be thankful because at least it's just the item that was taken and not my life. If it went missing due to my carelessness, then there'd be no excuse for that. I just think that it's a price I have to pay because I became too careless. I will consider it as a learning experience and that item is the amount I paid to learn the lessons. That way, you can turn an unfortunate event into a very meaningful one.:D


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

I know, you are blaming me for my carelessness. I admit, I am careless. And this incident has taught me to be very alert and careful while dealing with such things. I am already laert. NEWS!!!
Hmm you are right, If I were robbed or held up for it, I would have been more than happy to lose it.

Oh my, that is such a big loss. I do hope that you will be able to find it, if you have daughters try to ask if they might have borrowed it and forgot to return it. I do this sometimes when I feel that my pieces of jewelry don't look good with what I am wearing for a formal event or affair. You could try to have a copy made, but it will never be equal to the one you lost.


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

hi anne,
I do not share jewellery. I live in one place where we have no relatives. I have no daughters either. To make another one like that, I simply cant afford it!!! It was too expensive. But I have the same design and one day I will get a duplicate madewink
I have already started accumulating money to buy a piece. Gold has become very expensive. sad


myLot reputation of 96/100. anne25penn (876)   ranked 1,937 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

Yes I know how gold prices have increased. I bought a pair of earrings six months ago, and now I am being given something smaller than the earring I bought for the same price! It is a good investment though, and if you do have another bracelet made, make sure to keep it in your jewelry box!

Sorry to hear that news. we all don't like to lose something useful and expensive. But i believe that when we lose something, we will gain something. Sometimes it is visible to see what we lose or gain but someimes it is invisible. So i believe that don't feel so sad about it. Maybe you can gain more from it inother ways. Now you haven't know what you have gained, but in future, you'll sure find. I think your family will not put blame on you for that thing.Take it easy. Have a nive day!


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

The good news is that I havent told my mother or sisters yet. Ofcourse it is better to avoid their scolding and accusations. hmm I plan to lie if they ever ask about it about amade up locker. Is that a horrible lie to start with...I dont know my brain isnt working!!! I hope I get it back...
I did think about newton's law yesterday!! nothing is lost form the universe, a loss here is a gain there...how ironic!!! that didnt pacify mesad

I've lost somethings precious. And they sound more precious in ratio to what I make. When I lose stuff, I cry. I give up hope. I try to blaspheme a bit in search to find out what went wrong. But then I give up giving up. Wipe my tears, save up, and this times to stuff in more precious than before and handled with greater care.

It takes a fall to learn some valuable dusting skills.

Take care.


myLot reputation of 93/100. malpoa (544)   ranked 3,158 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

I easily give up too. But I woke up many times in my sleep. I still feel that I would get it back. how can it go missing alone, right? it cant just fly out from here...Yes i havent given up uyet...felt good after reading your response buddy!
