Valentine!

Well, it could be just another day and it mostly always is just another day! I still remember my first valentine day after marriage where i was bubbling with all enthusiasm expecting to receive surprise gifts from all over the places i go......alas...it turned out to be only in that fantasy world of mine! as it is, it turned out that my better half is not as good at giving surprises as much as i love being surprised...:-) One of his best efforts in surprising me during one of my b'days back in 2005 turned out to be a major flop show with me getting the hint of it all the way through the plan....lol! So, I have now kind of resigned to the idea of not receiving surprise gifts for any occasion but the couple of times it has happened, i hv prided myself in being able to change someone from their habits...:-)

Today turned out to be a very satisfying one in many ways! The weather was super good hitting 40 def F, made it to the mall with a friend and managed to do some shopping like as if we were in some mall back home! and managed to snack something in the mall( though cannot be compared to the pani puri or bhel puri) a Mexican equal to our Indian Chaat! Oh, what a refreshingly nice day it was to step out on your own and do some shopping at ur own sweet pace and there is the Valentine fever all over the mall! Every other shop from Jewelers to Footwear sellers trying to cap in on St.Valentines Day!
