My mother
is my best friend.
I can talk
to her about everything and anything. She is in general very enthusiastic about
life and extremely positive spirited. She is a trekker and is extremely fit at
the age of 59. She just celebrated her 59th birthday on 28th
May and I had to make it special for my dearest aai.
The usual
cake, flowers routine appeared boring to me. I happened to take help of the
famous Indian online shopping portal Flipkart (www.flipkart.com) and found some
amazing wrist watches there. My mom uses her old watch and hasn’t changed to
new yet. So, gifting her wrist watch would be a great idea, I thought. I made
the payment and selected for her a watch with black dial and golden belt. And I
was informed that the gift would be delivered to her on 28th May, on
the day of her birthday.
But as I had
expected, the delivery happened the next day, 3 days before her birthday. Thankfully,
dad took the parcel and kept with him and gave it to her only on 28th
May. She was pleasantly surprised and happy to receive my gift, though I was
sitting in Germany. She knows the magic of internet and what internet can do
with just a click. She immediately wore that watch and carried it around with
aplomb. I am sure, many friends and relatives must have called her to wish her
and the menu that day must have been aamras, without any doubt. Being born in
the month of May and into a family who had mango business, it is inevitable
that she likes any other fruit than mango so dearly that she can’t imagine her
birthday complete without eating one on that day.
Dear Aai,
here’s wishing you a very happy birthday and lot of good health, trips treks,
jewellery and saris and lots of laughter, cheerful and good times in the years
to come. Next year, Tanay and I will be also there to take part in your
birthday celebrations! Love ya!
