Birthday Wishes For My Friend

Every time I think of my school days, there's one particular girl's face that flashes on my mind. If there's any girl with whom I've never had a fight right from my childhood, it's only her. She's the one who listens to all my silly problems. She's the one who can take all my emotional dramas. She's the one who sticks around even when I don't pick up her phone calls or reply to her messages. She's the one who loves me when I give her every reason not to. She is none other my best friend Sahana. Today is her 23rd birthday. May all that's bright and beautiful, fill her heart with happiness. Happy birthday. 

P.S.: Sahana, this world is filled with many uncertainties but one thing is always certain- I will be your friend beyond words, time and distance. Many more happy returns of the day!

"Bandhan"

Few weeks back, I had been to Orion mall with my mom for Diwali shopping. She suddenly entered into Titan showroom, took a glance at all the watches displayed there and she really liked one particular watch. She wanted to buy it but that watch was to be sold along with another watch. Those two watches (one men's watch and one women's watch) are known as "Titan Bandhan" and they are little costly. She could have bought it but she thought she could buy it some time later when there is discount.

Today is my parents' 24th wedding anniversary. All these years, I've never bought any gift for them on their special day. Yesterday I suddenly felt I should buy those "Bandhan watches" and surprise my parents. That's what I did. I went to a Titan showroom nearby, quickly bought those watches with the money I had earned during my summer internship, got it gift wrapped and kept it on a table in our drawing room. When my parents woke up in the morning, they were really surprised to find a gift and they were more surprised when they saw those two watches. That smile on their face was really priceless.

Thought my parents have difference of opinions most of the times, they complement each other perfectly, just like those two watches!
