What is in a Present

A lot of things are taken for granted when you are familiar with a set of people, be it from work, family or friends. One can never guess what the other person’s likes or dislikes are. I have been in a dilemma lately thinking of the stuff I need to get my sweet heart for his birthday. Well I might be blamed for not knowing what the person closest to me would like for a birthday but I have said it .. there you go.. It is difficult to get things for men especially when you know them inside out.

What would be an ideal occasion, to gift someone you love with a token of appreciation? Since the time I started to make my own decisions I have learnt to appreciate people around me. I understood that things should never be taken for granted and even though not everyone is in anticipation of a favour, it is always good to give for a change. It is not the quality or quantity of the present but the mere gesture of giving something makes one feel happy.

Things apart, I did cook him a nice meal and got him all the knick knacks he desired without him knowing that he desired them and that was a warm hearty surprise.
