A Gift, straight from my heart !!!

Hello!!! Hope you guys are having an awesome week. I am enjoying my last few days at home - mom's great food, late-night chats with dad and so on. For a month now, i have been working on a gift that i wanted to leave back at home for dad and mom. At last, with sheer patience that i somehow managed to squeeze out the restless, over-enthusiastic-me, i managed to finish it. Here it is:

I consider Krishna and Radha, the epitome of love. They make such a beautiful pair!!!

Okay, this time, thought i shall talk a wee-bit about surprises and gifts. Its such an amazing feeling to gift someone during a special occasion. Isnt it??? It fills your heart with satisfaction after you present your loved one with something that they have always wanted. Its just so beautiful to see them smile and hug you for the wonderful day you have given them. Of course, surprises are such fun. They are so exciting!!!


When it comes to selecting gifts, its been one big problem with me. I can be utter nuisance to the shopkeeper. I would go around the shop, put my hand deep into the shelves, dig out whatever is there until the shopkeeper keeps walking stealthily behind me, as if he thought i was only window-shopping. More so, if it were a greeting card. If the words are good, the card's design will not be up to the mark(or so i would think). As if i were matching skirts and blouse, i would ask the guy to get me this kinda card, with that kinda wordings in them and he would give me a pathetic stare, that probably pleaded with me not to remind him of his college ragging days!!! I simply cant settle myself with something. Once, my friend abandoned me in the shop while i was rummaging for cards. She thought, the cakes and games might be over by the time i took her to the party!!!




I always tend to think there will be something better, something more innovative and something really sweet that i can gift. Its rather a very selfish motive behind this b'coz, i want the person to be haunted by my memory everytime he/she sees that gift of mine!!! Hehe :) Being this crazy Dravid fan, once my friends gifted me with a book - Rahul Dravid's biography and i was soooooo excited about it :) Everytime, i pick up to read that book , it reminds me of them. Anyways, coming to the gifts that i love to recieve!!! I love to get cards - they mean so much!!! But top in my list would be soft toys. I simply go crazy about them. Then, i like being gifted books, jewelry, cosmetics, music cd's, flowers, chocolates, crytals.... Guess i am building up a huge wish list here(just to get you guys prepared for my b'day next year)!!! :)


Before i sign off, one more gift to two special friends i recently met in blogsville, KK and s0ulasylum. Since you guys have been starving for some home food and some sambar (in which state i am to be in a few days time) here is my gift specially for you two - cooked by my mom!!! That's the best i could do guys!!! So Enjoy!!!! (Enlarge for better effect, its got sambar, tomato rasam, curd vadai, potato curry, salad, vadaam and gulab jamun...lol!!!) Take care and have fun!!! Hugggggzzzzz!!!



Btw, dont forget to tell me how long you guys shop for a gift and what's there in your wish-list???
