WATCH....

WATCH

HCTAW (not so familiar ), read the spelling from right to left, = WATCH (this word is very familiar)

Watch = Dictionary meaning : look at it carefully, understand it carefully.

Watch - we understand as wrist watch. Most of the people wear it, some watches may not be even working due to battery drain out completely. We don’t bother the value of wearing it, the purpose of wearing, still we wear the same. Jocularly we used to say “ why watch is necessary for WATCHMAN ” . Watch is referred to know the TIME. As all of us know TIME is always running forward. Time is not to waste. We have to use it judiciously. Proverb : Time and Tide wait for nobody. It does it duty continuously. Some people wear so tiny watch, to know the time they used to refer others.

If we infer that HCTAW has later referred as WATCH ,( or vice versa ) then let us think this way : ( Kindly read from bottom to top )

H = Heart

C = Character

T = Thought

A = Action

W = Word

Hence when we look at the watch a person is wearing it symbolises the person’s personality in the above mentioned positive traits.

Then comes a thought why there is only “ SECONDS ”, why not “ FIRST ” in a watch. The reason put forward is there can be so many SECONDS, but there can be only one First. That FIRST is retained by the creator of TIME......worth believing !!.
