There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise someone you
immensely like by giving them a surprise when they least expect it.
And that exactly is the purpose of this post.
So who is that I am trying to stun? That you will figure out as you read on.
Gils is my blog friend from my virtual world.
And No. He is not the
one I am trying to astonish.
But I have to introduce him in this post to you all to set
the context. He is a perseverant blogger
with 1034 posts ( as of now) to his credit.
He is a voracious reader and writes about a whole bunch of stuff, like
book and movie reviews, poems, short stories, plays (yes, that included), about
IT his bread winning field and puts up a lot of his perspectives about life in
general. What I love about his posts
are the pun and clean humor.
There is a new addition to the topics and that happens to be
his junior and its amazing to see the world through Gils’ juniors’ eyes.
Recently I was reading one of his posts about Junior
being adamant about a green toy train and he was not convinced about any other coloured
train. After many attempts in many elite
places, they finally found one in a pavement shop and he settled only when he
got what he had in mind.
I still haven’t reached the person whom I am trying to surprise. Context setting is still on. No wonder one
of my dear ones told me, I am not known for coherence. He really said that to me, amidst a fight. Now
I know, why!
There was a comment on that post that said, If
it were me, I would have asked for Ferrari 488 Spider.
While at Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, during our recent trip, I dragged J into their retail space which had an impressive collection of
branded products and memorabilia and pestered the store guys to show
me the scale model of Ferrari 488 Spider and here is the picture of my Magnum
Opus surprise for you RAMESH! :-)
Post script :
1. Ramesh, I didn't buy that for you because, they didn't have a red colored one.
2. Gils, I couldn't find that post on your blog anymore, though I searched for it in your blog.
Awwwwwww. Honoured, touched, can I find words ..... ? What can I say ?
