The Metal Bookmark: A Gift That Speaks to the Soul of a Reader
On a rainy afternoon in Delhi, Maya found herself lost in the smell of old books at a street-side market. A lifelong reader, she always carried a worn paperback in her bag — a ritual, a comfort, a piece of home she took everywhere. On her birthday that year, her best friend gifted her a small, velvet box. Inside was a beautifully crafted metal bookmark, etched with intricate patterns and finished in warm brass. It was elegant, unexpected, and immediately meaningful.
