I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I came back home to Baroda yesterday. My daughter Urmila, who had just come back from a trip to Kolkata had a surprise gift for Me !!
I was soooo thrilled & delighted. Nobody gets me surprise gifts & all that, ever. It's normally me who does these kind of things for everyone else....
"It's a small gift ma...." she warned me. "But I think you will love it," she declared.
She gave me a bag.... which said FLURYS on it. Yes that's the famous pastry shop of good ole Cal...
But she cannot be giving me stale pastries even if they are from Flurys, I thought..... & then without further delay I opened the bag & took out the gift................
Wow! There was this perfect little chocolate box, in the most perfect hot pink colour ever , with a perfect little bow on it.
It was such a perfect gift for me !!! I was lost in complete admiration of this adorable box.......... for quite a while that I forgot to checkout the actual contents inside....
By the way, the chocolates were awesome too.........
Daughters are the best ...I thought to myself....They know you inside out..........& they know just the thing that you will simply love.........
She knew I would be more thrilled with the box than the actual chocolates......( she told me so..)
Yep ...............that's my daughter......... the sweetest ever.............
Until I heard her say, " Ma, Can I have the box after you've had the chocolates !"
