To Mom, with Love

Image
The house looks a mess. Since last night, the search was on. Every pillow has been ransacked; every book racks upturned and the chairs and tables lie around like a war victim. This entire ruckus is because of the fact, that a paper cannot be found. Yes, just a little paper, where maybe some stupid things may have been scribbled, but never kept properly. Why? Because we simple do not think that somebody will care for us and arrange our things. Yes, moms do that. We may shout at her for touching our things and making it impossible for us to find them at the right time. But, after all she does it, for our own good. Likewise, whole day, something or the other, she is, selflessly, serving us. But, in most times, we fail to see the normal chores, the love behind all the sacrifices and the pain. This mother’s day, why not thank her for tolerating us, just the way we are. I bet, if it has been others, we may have been officially disowned and disgraced. But mothers are mothers, and ...

Happily ever and after

The clock struck 12. The doorbell rang. She jumped out of her bed. Did he forget the keys, today? But, generally he is so sincere with all these tiny details. She wondered if something had gone awry. All these 6 years, never did he ring the bell, when he returned from office. Is it somebody else, she thought. Suddenly, she was very scared. She looked around to see if she can find any self defensive equipment. She put on the robe and picked up the knife from the dining table. Slowly, she walked towards the door. Again, the bell rang with a sharp screech. She held her knife firmly and unlocked the door. And there he was, holding a beautiful cake for her and a bunch of red roses. It was their anniversary. She had almost forgotten, in the daily course of life. This year, make it special for your wife also. Even if a long time may have passed, make her feel special, just like the first day of marriage. You can try out many things, from a day trip to somewhere romantic to taking her s...

Choosing Gift for your Boss

Image
Is it your boss’s anniversary today? Are you wondering what to give? Yes, we completely understand how critical the situation is. A wrong gift is equal to a wrong impression and, more importantly, several late nights at office. Now, options are many. But being practical is important. You cannot go to the party with a bunch of red roses in your hand. Red roses are fine, but not exactly a corporate gift. It may make your boss uncomfortable, and more so his dear wife. You never know how it will be conceived by your co-workers. Giving Cash as a gift may be a great idea, during a family occasion, but strictly a no-no for boss. Just imagine the shock, when he opens the envelope to discover few crispy notes. You do not want to be the punching bag, do you? If you are considering a ticket to the nearest weekend getaway, do check your pockets. It may sound nice, but you certainly do not want to cringe and cry when he does not give you a promotion, inspite of all that expensive gifts. In a...

Sweet reminders

So you have forgotten to wish her on her birthday? She must have been waiting for your call the whole night, staring at the mobile screen. You think she is hurt or angry. Now, how do you confront her? No, just a call is not enough. You have to make her feel special. Maybe you have forgotten on that moment, but it is never too late to do something romantic for your partner. A sweet something will always win her heart. It can be any gift, but heartfelt is what matters the most. Every girl loves chocolate. But sending over a packet of chocolate may not be that special. You can make it unique. Why not opt for black forest cake . Send her six pieces to give her six messages. We have few suggestions. You can start with a simple ‘sorry’ for the first piece, a birthday song for the second piece, a ‘make a wish’ gift for the 3 rd piece, a ‘never to forget’ promise for the fourth, a kiss of love for the fifth and finally for the last piece, convey to her how much she means to you and ...
