Emotions wrapped

Come December and there are so many special occasions to celebrate. Anniversary and birthday of dear ones. There is nothing like a thoughtfully given gift to celebrate such occasions.

I love gifts. Somebody who said “gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts” is right. But I think any occasion (anniversary, birthday, child-birth, new job, wedding ) or any feeling (luv, friendship, missing someone) becomes all the more exciting with a thoughtfully given gift. It is not that gift ought to be some expensive thing. Flowers are the best gift . They speak the language of all the cultures and can express joy, love or friendship. A hug is also a great gift. U give it and get it right back.

Gifts comes in handy when we cannot put our feelings in words. It’s the best way to convey what we feel for the receiver. Gift must affect the receiver to the point of shock. Gift is the "emotions wrapped".

In China clocks, umbrellas and books are a big no-no for a gift. In Japan gifts in black and white or in odd numbers are ominous. But, here in India books and clocks can be a good gift.

I love to read all the old cards and letters from friends and loved ones. There are no new cards and letters as now we receive e-cards and mails. But the pleasure which those paper cards and letters give is incomparable.

Life is also a gift from god. We are no one to abuse this great gift of his. Nor should we allow others to make our life miserable. As each day pass by, we don’t realize what we are losing. We don’t have any control over events but still we can try to make our life more beautiful.

I am again becoming philosophical. My sister always say that I am a preacher. She has to be credited for listening to my (sometimes boring or may be often) views related to any damn thing. First, that I am the elder one and secondly, the leo (always dominating)

Well, my sister is one of the precious gifts I have received from the god. I don’t know from where does she gets so much patience to hear whatever I have to say. If I would have been in her place, I would have really get bored. Well that’s what sister’s are for.She is the one friend who will stay forever in my life and with whom I can share my worst fears.

I was talking about the gifts (cards, flowers, chocolates, candles etc.) and while writing this blog I suddenly changed my thoughts. I have already got lovely gifts from god. All those loving people around me who makes my life worthwhile. My lovely daughter who always puts a smile on my face by her innocent talks and acts.
I really want to thank god for all these lovely gifts.
