There is a reason behind this blog. It’s my roommate; her joy made me put this in writing. Few days back she got a pack of surprises from India. It was from her boy friend and her sister. It had various cute gifts and a letter written by her sister. She was so surprised and cried with happiness. There was one more incident that i can recollect where one my best mate sneha was surprised on her birthday by her husband. It was an awesome day for her. There were couple of surprises lined up and all were unique and sweet.
Surprises are such a pleasant thing it can put a smile on anyone’s face. Nobody can ever deny that they do not like surprise. It’s probably impossible but I expect some exceptions. I have seen every time how my sister’s eyes glows when she gets surprise gifts on her birthday, how my mom can’t stop smiling when she receives surprise gifts from us . One way to make your people feel special is just give them some good surprise once in a while, try and bring a smile on their face. It need not be too grand but something small which makes them feel good. For a day surprise your mom by cooking when she is gone out, get your dad his favorite music, buy your brother or sister a ticket for some movie which they love and want to watch, place a nice note with a fresh flower beside your spouse before he or she wakes up (I guess it is too romantic: p). I need not mention, there are lot more innovative ways.
The best surprise that I have come across till date was a visit to orphanage. I had gathered lots of chocolates and sweets. I also made few packs of goodies. Each of them contained items like pencils, crayons, stuff toys, key chains, color pencils and books. Then I dragged one of my best friends on his birthday to an orphanage. He had no thought where he was taken to and why. After we entered the place we saw few kids of all age groups from various parts of the country, there were around twenty of them. We all gathered and had fun, some started singing, some kids danced and some cracked some jokes. My friend distributed chocolates and sweets, he also gave away the goodies and in the end we had a group photo shoot. This photo was framed and given to him. He was really content that he made all the kids cheer for a while. Those young children were really excited to open their goodies. They sang the birthday song for my friend. This was a day to be cherished by me since my idea of surprise clicked and made my friend very happy.
Surprises are always the best gift. The fun in giving a surprise in incomparable!!
Keep surprising :-)
