Rainy Days

It is an awesome feel to look at early morning drizzles through the window and sipping on hot cup of tea. I also love to drive during these times listening to some soft romantic numbers. Thanks to some cyclone formation, I am enjoying this for the past one week. I have my office on the 10th floor on a seaside. It’s a picturesque view from here when it rains.

I hope everybody loves rain and the pleasant weather. I have my own preference on a rainy day. I want myself to be in a cottage of a hill station amidst thick forest with mist covered. As I sit on the balcony on a wooden chair keeping my legs above the wooden rails the drizzles should wet my feet. To bring some warmness to my body and soul I need a bottle of old monk rum. As I sip the liquor listening to the chirping of birds and some soft romantic numbers there should be steaming smashed tapioca and spicy fish curry to enthrall my stomach. I can sit for hours together and enjoy if I get such an atmosphere.

I wish that such dreams come true and I would cherish every second of it.

29 inches happiness

I had gone to my hometown on the en-route of my official tour. My parents were not in thick of their health, my friends wedding and many other reasons were there for my visit.

There we have a CTV, which is a decade old that had been entertaining my folks. They had no grudge on this even though the colour was not up to the mark and images were blurred. Since I have a flat screen model where I live now has better quality in terms of picture and sound. As I was watching the TV at home, thought would buy a new one for my parents because they deserve it. I picked up the local daily to check out any offer was available. There was an advertisement of a TV dealer with no discounts/offers. However, that did not stop me from my decision of buying a new one.

I told my wife about the surprise gift for my parents, she was as thrilled as I was. We called up the showroom to exchange the old TV. The guy reached our place to check the status and fixed the price. Only then, my mom came to know about it. She was damn excited and was happy that her son is doing something for them, which they also were also planning. She called up my dad to inform this and asked him to come to the showroom to choose the TV he wants. In the next 2 hours a brand new 29 inches flat screen TV replaced our old entertainer.
I could see the happiness in the face of my parents. I was proud of myself on that day and gave a pat to myself for thinking on the lines of my parents. I wish I could surprise them with many more such gifts and bring happiness to their life.
