The
Gifts
of Magi
I love receiving gifts.But even more,I love well thought out gifts.They needn't be big or costly.They just need to be considerate.
This year Sibling#2 (as an early birthday gift!)gave me a sand timer,which had a nice memory attached to it.Its small, colourful, beautiful and I smile every time I see it.
I on the other hand really meant to buy her some good cake,but did not do that.Apologies.
Last year,I got books from Mahadev.She made my year.She gave me a book on my birthday and three in April.Aah,the smell of wonderful books.I have yet to find a her a decent copy of a book I told her I'd buy years ago! I WILL do this.Readers,ask me in a year and If I still did not do this,disown me.
Mahadev, Sib#1 gave me very nice earrings last year.Oh,if you know me and don't know about my earrings.Eh,shame on you? :P No,just kidding. I just love earrings.Apart from books,bags the thing(s) that I don't get tired of are earrings. (Bags comes a close second,considering I don't have place for them right now)
AGB,MichL have given me digital photo keychains in the past.I don't use them as keychains,but use them.But out of a certain sentimental reason,I refrain from using Mich's too often.Very considerate gifts,I really hope they weren't costly.
In ninth class,I was genuinely trying to get up earlier to study.Considering I was the world's most non studious person, this took more effort for me than the average person.(Not the getting up early but the getting up early to study). I used to use the phone to set an alarm because we did not have a working alarm at home. And I used to run out of the bedroom to answer the phone so that no one else would wake up. And by the end of the week,Ammamma made Suryanarayana Tata but me an alarm clock at the Army Canteen and gifted it to me.I did not ask for it.But I am always grateful for this.I still have the alarm clock on my cupboard, even though it stopped working ages ago.
I know love,affection and care cannot be solely shown through materialistic things,but so much can be said about people according to them.Aah,sentimental post this.
