Yesterday, I just veered off from the PC at about 7 pm...with tired eyes that pained after the day's work...and still two hours of work left, to open the door when the doorbell rang.
My husband had arrived. Unusual for him to come this early! He was carrying a showbox in one hand, and something else in the other hand.
A minute or two after the casual chat, he pulled out and gave me what was in his other hand, tucked away in a packet. My eyes lit up when I saw what he brought, besides the evening snack of dhoklas and vada pav. A little bunch of roses: a mini-bouquet rather!
He does surprise me with roses once in a while, but this one was special! For, the roses were not wrapped in plastic sheets and tied up with another plastic piece called the ribbon, but wrapped lovingly in a large leaf shaped just like a bouquet. And they were tied up with a piece of cotton thread!
So lovely, yet so meaningful! Imagine if a rose seller could be so thoughtful and innovative in selling his in a leaf rather than plastic! Cost effective. Yet expressive!
