Joy of buying gifts to loved ones

After a long wait my sister managed came to be with me for a week. Luckily she came on Saturday so we had ample to spend together. We both are staying in same city hardly 10 km from each other but even then can't meet every week because of our commitments. Even If I go to meet her can't stay for more than an hour hostel rule you see.

Due to some function in her college we were able to spent some time together, as she is not participating in any of the event because of her ill health. First we did after coming out of her hostel was to go for shopping. She is going home next month , wanted to sent some gift for dad. Once we were in shop I felt like buying some things for her even. When I asked her to select few things for her she said no, because already bill was high. Ignoring the rising bill I bought few things for her. When reached the billing counter didn't know what but I was feeling to happy. Usually experience it when I shop something for my family members.

When I shop things for my self hardly I get this feeling. Though my basic agenda is to save money but at such moment saving doesn't strike me. It strike me once I receive my credit card bill at the end of the month.

But now I can realize how our parents would have felt when they fulfilled our wishes and desires. Couple of time they have sacrificed their happiness to see smile on our faces. Even now when I go home dad gets all those things which I love to have and mom prepares most delicious food. When we go out they don't allow me to bear expenses saying you save your money but some how my conscious doesn't allow me to do so. Finally payments are done by me.

A unique experience of shopping try it out...
