Hey, Hope you are doing well. I live in the college bag of this young lady who adores me. I am a wallet and responsible for many things in her life - credit card, debit card, money are a few of her assets that she has entrusted with me. I think it must be special to her, as she never once shifted my contents into any other wallet or purse. She keeps me safe inside her bag all the time. We share a special relationship - this girl and I.   Let’s call her Ms.Intern as she just joined a new company as part of her college internship program.

One of my flaps has a mirror which Ms.Intern uses to touch up her carefully careless make-up once in a while.

Today : 2nd Jan 2020 Just wished someone a very happy new year and a very beautiful beginning to a new decade.   Day before yesterday night: Bangalore. People were dancing like there was no tomorrow and the energy was unimaginable.   ‘Hey, Happy New Year!’, said someone all covered in scarf and I wished back!! Does not matter who wished, but every one responded. “So what?” Asked my son, sleepy-eyed, tired from the cold night’s new year lighting, dinner, stage show, yelling, running around, and finally when he almost took an oath never to stand near the loud speaker, I looked at the watch.
