THE BEST BELATED VALENTINE GIFT
Posted in FRICTION on 02/24/2007 11:30 am by aravind das
It was a cool evening. me & my friend were just chit chating in my house.Suddenly my friend raja asked me what gift I had given to my wife on ?valentine day?? ( that too in front of my wife) this fellow does not have any common sense at all. (which is really uncommon for men).
He had put me in a very uncomfortable situation.my wife was really fumming.i could guess the high voltage mental reaction of her(like any other huby).actually when it comes to celebration like v-day,wife-day,huby-day ,I just avoid them telling it is purely western culture.but when India wins in cricket or India get a bronze in Olympic etc,I don?t hesitate to do party.my betterhalf accuses me of double standard.(may be she is correct to some extent).
Basically I donot want to put me in trouble giving gifts to my wife on so many occasion.already the list is quite lenthy.when she goes to my house or her house gift is ness,when any of our relative gets married she requires a new saree,,anniv ,b?day ,diff vrata day — - the list goes on & on.
So why to call police blowing own whistle ?(digging hole for own) better to keep yourself safe out of this kind of day.but Raja was going on & on how they celebrated, who gave what gift to their wifes \girl friends & who else from our office joined etc.he even told that I had declined to come to that party.(poor me,I could see my future).
After eating four samosa & jelebi ,raja went to his home ,putting my house in fire.i tried to pacify my wife.i was making some promise(to be broken of course),but she was not listening.ultimately she told me, ?ok, bring some thing which is in demand now ,which is useful & which Is hot,. most importantly this should bring smile & joy like initial period of our marrige? .
I went out to search for that unusual thing.really difficult when you choose beleted gift.i promised henceforth I shall give gift in advance to avoid all this trouble scolding dear valentine.it was getting late,most of the shops were closed.
I came back at 10pm with a packet.she immediately snached & opened the packet & went on laughing & laughing.i was bit confused seeing her ex-pression.the hearty laugh had brought tears to her eye.she gave me a naughty smile and told?you are really amazing,this is the best?belated VALENTINE GIFT? any huby would have given to his wife.i was really happy.
You wonder what was the gift ? it was two kg?ONION?.
