He went to Jared!!

This was a must-write and I just kept putting it off. This is about Jignesh, who technically happens to be a complete unromantic 'cheeni kum' person, who tried his hands at learning the language of flowers, cards and gifts.

 

Last month I had my birthday. Let me not even start what a sad and a happy event a birthday can be, considering the fact that you are actually celebrating the always-increasing age. Well, the previous night we had been up watching a movie which happened to be such a drag, but Jignesh kept insisting to finish it. At midnight, we went up to bed. Coincidentally, Anushka was awake too. I am trying to talk her into getting ready for bed, while as I turn my head toward the bedroom door, lo behold!!!! what do i see!!!! Its my husband, let me reiterate, MY husband, grining like a 6-year-old with flowers and cards in his hand. Both of us just bursted out laughing coz we are so not used to these romantically conventional methods. This is the first time in 6 years I get flowers. They were beautiful, i have to say he picked a good bouquet. Though I never really got the flowers coz Anushka immediately proclaimed her ownership of the flowers while I got to keep the cards. I GOT A CARD TOO. Again, I was in fits and rolling while I was reading the card, obviously Jignesh accompanying me in this jolly experience. Next, he brings out a gift bag. and I got jewelery this time. "HE WENT TO JARED" - I have to say this aloud. It was a very pretty delicate necklace with longish but again delicate earrings. I am speechless. Anushka kept saying "wow" "wow" all the time.

 

Everyone likes to be pleasantly surprised at times, and so do I. And this was such a pleasant and an unexpected surprise from him that I am still basking in it's glory. And coming from a person who is so not used to this, is very very sweet. Well, my 'cheeni kum' husband afterall did decide to ignore the consequences of sinful indulgences (by which I mean sugar), albeit for a short time. I don't have a problem with that considering the fact that I have a hard time metabolising it too, hehehe.

 

May our lives be enriched with little pleasures that linger in your mind for a long long time. Amen!
