Most Expensive Watch and PM Pakistan

Since Couple of days Pakistani media generally and Political parties in opposition specially have discussing and criticizing the Prime Minister (PM) of Pakistan for wearing one of the most expensive wrist watch - Louis Moinet -   in the world.

When I was kid, I used to spend not more than PKR 1,000/ to buy wrist watch but as I grew older my budget increased and I used to insist with my father that I need to buy some good watch so I can stand unique in my Friend's circle. You may call it showing off or anything but that feeling was very different and pleasing one.. Since I'm independent now and earn some good amount, so I don't buy less than what I had to buy with my father's money.

Living standard goes up when income or saving increases.

The plot here is what is wrong in wearing wrist watch of $ 4.6 million or PKR 46 Crore? I see nothing wrong in it when one can earn Billions of Rupees per year. Mr. PM is not a poor person, he is renowned industrialist of the Pakistan who owns scores of companies.

Lets have a look on the watch he worn during National Assembly (NA) session:

Finally, I would like to write that May God give him many many days to wear that watch and I pray that God may grant me one such ;)

Saving Habit in minor

When I was below the age majority - 18 years (Pakistan) - my parents used to say Beta don't spend all of your money rather you must save some of Rupees from your pocket money. They used to buy ceramic/clay pot  ( اردو:  غلّہ)  for me, so I can put some of my pocket money in the pot for future use. This was the move of my parents to inculcate saving habits in me.
