Kings believed in giving gold to temples and people are still following up with tradition to donate gold to temples incase some wish is fulfilled as part of macroeconomics while women are happily devoting to hoarding gold as future investment
Achievers as children are happy to receive gold medals in academics and so are our players at international levels though it's not real gold to invite thieves and robbers
Gold is just an investment
It's risky to wear golden jewelry and not invite eyeballs as jealous relatives and friends and thieves
Business of fake jewelry having golden look is picking up and film stars are brand ambassadors
It's fair to remember PM Shastri ji who asked women to donate gold during war with Pakistan1965 and patriotic women did donate happily
Don't hoard gold incase you have surplus money
Invest in bonds meant to build nation and get equally good returns
