Do you wear a bracelet – is it a Golden one or made of some other metal ? ~ wearing them on arms start perhaps from the hospital bed as identification tag… to the stunning jewelry pieces….. made of Gold, other metals, to the modern day metal, leather, cloth, plastic, wood, shells, and more………. In religion, also bracelets have some significance – in Temples those who perform Yagnyas have bracelet known as ‘kappu’.
Many of us do display our emotions and become emotionally charged when something pleasant or unpleasant happens. Emotion is the complex psychophysiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences. In humans, emotion fundamentally involves "physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experience." Emotion is associated with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation.
Psychologically, we look to external sources for some support and kappu or bracelets are one of the means from which mankind derives solace. In most religious places, you could see – ‘black and red strings’ being purchased and worn as ‘bracelets’ or around the neck to ward off evil. In Sanskrit, it is called "drishti dosha" meaning malice caused by Evil eye. Throughout the World, the wearing of charms as a form of amulet/ talisman to ward off evil spirits or bad luck is prevalent. Then came the charm bracelets in various forms believed to bring good luck and personal things to the wearer…. If you are associating to something happening in rural India, you need to know of Pandora A/S, a global jewelry company founded in Denmark that sells customizable charm bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces in more than 50 countries. The company in fact came out with an IPO in Oct 2010. Globally, growing number of celebrities are being spotted with a distinctive silicone band on their wrists. Andrew Strauss is a victorious cricket captain, having starred in a dazzling Ashes series win, so do many English and other cricketers who sport visibly £30 rubber band on their wrists – they are the Power Balance bracelet - a silicone band with a hologram. The bands are popular among professional golfers too… Moving away from the power balance, there is news of iBracelet that can tell you when you've got an email from your boyfriend (or when your favorite celeb sends a new Tweet). It is a bracelet of technology – one that pairs with mobile phones as it controlled via an application – just like the ‘Attention Indicator’ that you have on Lotus Notes by which you can customize the background and text colours of people [you like or your bosses or those whom you consider extremely important], this iband can be programmed to display different colours for different people and would display alerts based on tweets and Facebook alerts.With regards – S.
