Surprise surprise..
How i used to hate that word.. I've never liked suspenses and more so if it was supposed to be a pleasant surprise..When u have something nice to say/do, why do people ever keep others waiting.. Neway all these Qs can be answered later coz last weekend i did have a ball doing wot i usually dont like being done to me...Twas Rashi's Bday on Saturday and since her folks were away in Singapore, she could not go to Chennai.. Neither cud she go to Mumbai since Vinay and she aren't exactly on the bestof terms.. And since she's barely been a week here in Bangalore she had made plans to spend the day with me...Planning to surprise her, i connived with her cousin Deepak to make it a memorable Bday for her...
Firstly i called her on Friday morning and made it appear as if i had been urgently summoned to Chennai on some official work.. I could sense the disappointment in her tone but she managed to hide it well..Then a pal of mine from Chennai had come over and i used his cell running on a Chennai SIM and called her in the evening thereby establishing my story. Meanwhile Deepak convinced her that they should see a movie the other day..She has arranged to party with her office colleagues on Saturday evening so left with nothing to do during the day she consented..Meanwhile i ordered a cake for her and shopped for her gift (A Bryan adams CD since i know she liked him) ...I reached MG road early and was warned to stay away from REX where Deepak and his girlfriend Neetu had already bought for us four tickets for the balcony...When Rashi had asked him about the fourth ticket he has duped her with some story...I left the cake at one of the canteen stalls and watched the first half of the movie in the stall.. Just when it was interval, i picked up the cake and then shocked Rashi by my appearance.. And then we all sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her.. and some people in the hall also joined in.. and my was she thrilled :-)) I saw the second half of the movie alongwith the gang and we had a great evening...
Since Rashi had not known i was in town, she had made plans for the evening with her colleagues and since we didnt want her to break that, we dropped her off after the movie was over and went our ways.. And much as i hated surprises till then, the look on her face when i dropped in with the cake was well worth all the trouble.. Maybe surprises arent that bad after all :-))
