Being sentimental is passé in a world where cut-throat competition rules. Yet there are still those who allow their heart to reign supreme over sheer logic.

Being sentimental is pass�� in a world where cut-throat competition rules. Yet there are still those who allow their heart to reign supreme over sheer logic.
'Chal chal mere saathi' is probably Vandana Nair's most uttered phrase, whenever she is on her old scooty, trying to get it to start. Yet she is not ready to declare it as junk.
"It costs me a lot to maintain it now and even after repairs, it's never upto the mark.I know it would be easier to sell it," says her father.
But the teenager is adamant. "It is the first vehicle that my father bought and it is the symbol of my father's hardwork. We have many vehicles but my loyalty remains with this one," says this MSU student.

Such fondness and emotional attachment to inanimate objects is often the subject of ridicule among friend circles. Yet it isn't uncommon at all. "I have a fascination for the alphabet 'A'.
Actually, my first crush and all my best friends' names begin with this alphabet. Today, I am hooked to it and I make a special effort to write the letter artistically," says Aarti Shah, a college student.
Even the rich and famous have many such sweet secrets. Like actress Dia Mirza, who admits: "All my childhood pictures are kept in a special case. So many memories are attached to them. It was a gift from my father.

I know I am not being practical in keeping those hundreds of pictures when only a few would have been enough. But it's a treasure close to my heart."
Of course when the subject of an emotional attachment costs as much as a few million rupees, the desire to keep it is more obvious. Actor Ashmit Patel recalls: "I got a Mercedes Benz from my father when I completed my graduation from USA.
I am an automobile freak and my joy knew no bounds. Since then I have had many cars but I will never sell my first car. More than anything else, the immense love of my father associated with the car, is something I will always cherish."
The heart it seems, reigns supreme.
