Joy of Gifting...


I love presents. I love to get gifted. But I love to give gifts to my near and dear ones even more.

Giving gifts has become a ceremony for me. First I spend hours on thinking what to buy, and then I spend hours for searching that particular thing.

At times, Salespersons very politely (maintaining their plastic smiles) say, “Sorry Mam, we don’t have it right now. But we can order it for you next month”, and I get pissed off.

“What do you mean you don’t have it? Why the hell are you running this shop? Go close it up and…” Putting a stop to my train of thoughts I simply say, “Okay”.

However I never compensate. I hop in to another shop and carry on the quest, until I get that perfect gift I was looking for!

Once I get it, I start adoring it more than anything else. I love to pack them beautifully with glitter papers, ribbons and bows. And after all the embellishments are done, the most exciting moment of gifting ceremony befalls.

The excitement of giving presents thrills me, especially when it is a surprise gift. I love to see the joy of getting gifted on my loved ones. I love to set eyes on them while they appreciate it wholeheartedly. I get a bit anxious on thinking what if they don’t like it. But the very next moment I look at them and the picture proves me wrong. The sides of their lips curve delicately and turn into a mile long smile.


Gratitude for getting gifted in their eyes… joy of gifting in my heart!


It’s after midnight and my cell phone beeps. I look to see who has texted me at this hour and get touched finding a small Thank You note, sent as a token of appreciation… as a return gift!


Small gifts spread bliss!!!

Dahling! Look at the sky! It's smiling for you! :)


This evening, probably thousands of lovers would have messaged their beloveds saying "Dahling! Look at the sky! The moon is smiling for you! :)"


Yeah... as I am writing this, moon is still smiling cutely. (I can see it from my window.)


A crescent moon is conjunctioning with a planetary duo of Jupiter and Venus forming a cute smiling face, lighting up the sky!


This is what I felt when I first encountered this beautiful conjunction while coming back to home:


आज खरया अर्थाने आकाश हसलं


चान्दणीने थांबवलं उगीचच रुसणं


आज खरया अर्थाने आकाश हसलं


चंद्राने कदाचीत कौतुकाने


न्याहाळलं असेल तिचं सुंदर दिसणं


कारण आज खरया अर्थाने आकाश हसलं


लाजुन म्हणाली असेल ती त्याला,


"पुरे झालं असं लाडिक पाहणं"


आज खरया अर्थाने आकाश हसलं


संधीच मीळावी जणू चंद्राला


सोडलं त्याने चोरून बघणं


खेटलं जवळ अन मिठीत धरलं


म्हणुनच आज आकाश हसलं! :)


hee hee!


Keep smiling world!
