Tweet

Hello everyone here Ji, I wish to bring out following expressions written by my hubby, who turned 74 yrs on just passed 22nd September and stepped into 75th his B'day, has following hearty feelings. [b]"It always falls on 22nd September in each calendar year as per my Birth certificate, which has been advanced by minimum four months than actual, due to recording error by Census in 1951-52, as we two brothers and one of our elder sister too have same DOBs recorded as on date. As I tried to get up as usual on this day, I heard whispering sound wishing me ‘HAPPY BIRTH DAY-FATHER OF MY CHILDREN’ This expression and lovely feelings immersed with lot of relative feelings could come only from my wife, who is my lone wife in this world since almost 43 yrs now. I just returned her wishes with normal smile at her. We spend our quality time of summer with our younger son, his wife and two of our grand children, our elder son lives 23 Kms away in opposite direction and we keep paying casual visits. They and our lone daughter too compose similar family. Our younger DIL prepared Idli/Sambar for our B’fast and we all had. It seemed, rest all have forgotten about my DOB. Around 9 AM our lone daughter called me (phone was attended by our younger son) and wished me . I only asked her about my GIFT, and She asked me ‘WHAT DO YOU WANT, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING PAPA’. Then I asked her to live peacefully without much bothering about others around her, only to worry to bring her up both small children. It would greatest GIFT from her. She promised me the same. As our conversation was over heard, our younger son too wished me and asked his both children to wish, it was further followed by our younger DIL in person. To all of them I repeated the same, what I wanted from our Daughter as my GIFT on this occasion. Here I must mention one thing that present parenting has become most difficult task for all parents, when there is only Negative attitude with present generations due to compact life style/food habits and 3-4 G fast communication, multiplying with multi diseases due to lowering of immune system in the body. They are made to think non resistance of ‘FAILURE’ due to introduction of ‘GRADE SYSTEM ‘ in education. At about 12’O Clock, I got a surprise call (as he was hibernated since July, 27 and keeping silence for reasons best known to him) from our elder son in normal voice wishing me ‘JANMDIN MUBARAK’ followed by query, if Birth Day Lunch is ready. I asked him he could come and see. Here I must mention that in our family as my remembrance goes, Birth-Day Lunch is abbreviated as ‘KBB’ means (1) - ‘KARHI-PREPARED OUT OF GRAM POWDER AND MIXED WITH PAKODI/PHULAUTRI’ , (2)- B FOR ‘DAHI-BADA’ AND (3) NEXT B BHAT MEANS NORMAL PLAIN RICE’. In addition, when mother is alive, she will do Puja with ‘GUL-GULA’. So our elder son enquired. Then our younger grand son wished me, I asked him when he would come and whatever he replied, I could not make out. However, my moral graph had shot up and I was very happy that he too called me. By 2 PM we all had finished our Lunch with special sweet dish prepared by our younger DIL ‘KHEER’. It was really very tasty, not because I was overjoyed, but in real and prepared without anyone’s help. I retired to my bed in our room following golden rule, ‘AFTER LIUNCH SLEEP A WHILE AND AFTER DINNER WALK A ILE’. At about 1430 hrs, our younger Son was talking with someone outside after one TAXI had stopped in front of our gate . He was exclaiming ‘Great surprise’, After few minutes, our elder DIl followed by our two grand children and elder son appeared . It was a great surprise. I was really very much happy to see them, particularly our elder DIl, who followed all the norms of our HINDU Lady attire. She was in Saree, which I always like. Everyone wished me and I blessed them. In fact while feeling touch of our Son, I emotionally broke down. Tears rolled out of my both eyes with eternal and internal happiness. Our elder DIL pronounced that there were many surprise GIFTS still to be unfolded in coming hours. I told them that their coming and wishing me in person was greatest GIFT for me for my whole life. Here, I recollect about an chapter during my Graduation entitled ‘GIFTS’ by English writer “GALSWORTHY’ who opined that GIFTS should not be planned one. They should be instantaneously and all of a sudden. Citing an example he further argued that there could be problem for disposing off GIFTS items IF THEY ARE MORE IN NUMBERS. He further brings out scene from AS YOU LIKE IT written by Shakespeare , where Character Rosalind does not hesitate and runs towards her boy-frind to present her own necklace around his neck aftrer he scores a goal in Foot-bal. That amounts to GIFT. So I was too happy and already received my GIFTS from everyone for such ‘WISHES’ May God bless them all. Then as it was little late for Lunch, our younger DIL got straight into kitchen and again prepared Lunch with great enthusiasm for our elder son and his family and they all had nice Lunch. As children got busy with their indoor games playing activities, we elders discussed some of our family matters. By the time it was around 1630 hrs, we had a round of ‘GOL-GAPPA (PANI-PURI)’ and then our elder DIL un-folded another surprise by opening up of ‘BIRTH DAY CAKE’, WHICH WAS SPECIALLY PREPARED AS EGGLESS. We all got together for big ceremony. It was my second time during my life. First time was on 66th B’day at USA. Here I wish to recollect and mention that ever first time such Birth-Day Cake for me was organized by my Younger Son at FT. LDR. DALE (Miami-USA) , as we both along with MIL of our younger Son had reached on this day in the year 2003. That was a MAIDEN CAKE ever cut by me. So the Candle was lit, and I was requested to blow-off candle first, finally cutting time came,, I requested both my grand sons and both my grand-daughters present to support my hands from either sides to add another feather to this ceremony. They all obliged me, and then “HAPPY BIRTH DAY PAPA/BABA” roared into my year. I only missed our lone daughter with our lone SIL and two of our grand children as they were away to their place in MP. Then I got another surprise GIFT from elder Son a Mobile Cell Phone ‘SAMSUNG-METRO DUOS-GT-C3322’. I understand that MBLs are very useful during any emergency, but I always prefer to discard them , as I do not wish to remain under Emergencies. MBLs are very harmful. They are mostly miss-used . British GOVT. introduced some allowances some four yrs back for least using electronic gadgets by students/children MBLs/TVs in particular. But after use of 3-4 days, I am happy with one of its feature that unwanted calls can be sent to ‘REJECT LIST’ Still some inner wears also formed part of GIFTs. Still surprising was a ‘GIFT GREETING-CARD’ personally fabricated , designed and written by my eldest Grand-Daughter (Lone daughter of our elder Son). It was in ‘HEART-SHAPE’ with following words expressions :- “ ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, I HAVE A WISH TO SEE YOU HAPPY ALWAYS. I HAVE A GIFT OF GOD’S BLESSINGS FOR YOU. I SEE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE . ON YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS IS MY SMALL LITTLE POEM FOR YOU…. It was my most and ever remembering day in my life. I was fully satisfied as I achieved everything in my life, seeing all united. At 6 PM our elder Son with his family left for his house by same TAXI. Time to drop curtains now. Please share your views / experiences on such surprise GIFTS and occasions with pros and cons. Thanks for peaceful hearing. "[/b] May God bless You and have a great time
