Life is full of surprises...
...and surprise it was. I was taking my evening shower (I am always taking shower it seems) and came out to find a small package at my door. It was a bit surprising because I wasn't expecting anything and my birthday is not for atleast 8 months. I opened the door and when I saw the place where it came from, my first words were, "Oh My God!!"
A package that came all the way from the land which is 9000 years old, Nepal. I didn't even had to blink to know who it might be from. She is known by different names/identities but everyone these days know her as Miss Juneli, a writer, a reader, a poetess and above all a dreamer.
The first thing I noticed was the packaging, it was so neatly packaged. It had all sort of goodies, three books (Five Point Someone, One Night @ call center, Delhi city of yoginis), a beautiful postcard, a handwritten letter and in a beautiful Hindi at that, a CD about Nepal, few bookmarks to go with the books and even the unique envelope which is made up of map of Nepal.
Thanks a lot Juneli. I don't think I have enough words to express my Thanks. It was unexpected but in a very good way. I have made so many friends through blogging and you are one of the special ones. The thing that everyone likes about you (and I can say for everyone) is your caring nature, thoughtfulness and respect for everyone. It has been great knowing you and your thoughts through blogging. You always seem to care about everyone else and in a very unselfish way. Ok ok ab zayada taarif nahin karunga...he he. It has been great knowing you. God Bless Ya!!
P.S : Delhi, A City of Yoginis...what an apt title for me and all you people whose minds are wandering off, this is a book about Delhi's architecture...lol.

Hmmm... mera purana comment ricky ne delete kar diya kyonki usmen sirf juneli ki taarif ki thi!
i don't remember how i landed at her page... but even after the multiple times she's changed her blog address, her blog has carried the same soul and enthusiasm!
and she is a real sweetheart... there is o doubt about it! incidentially, these two books seem to be her favourite gifts... didn't she send them to colours too????
payal:
hai re....so sweet!! mujhe bhi chahiye!! :((
anks - Hmmmm...aap ne humein aisa vaisa samjha hua hain kya :P
Yep, she send the same book to Colors (except the Delhi one) but that's coz these books are not available in American market.
payal - Hayee re, main bhej doonga aapko, no worries :)
You have tried to call me but in which number?
Cell?
Home? or
Office?
I never gave you my numbers!!!!! but of course you could have get my office number.....
Oye thank you kahne ke waaste itta bada post banakar saare shehare mein dindora pitwadi... aur kitta thanku bolega.... Jyada aur thanku thanku kahega to thanku ko bhi sharm aa jayegi... jaroorat se jyada usse use karke......
@ Reema - aap to humare ghar tasrif lane wale thein... lekin raste mein hi gum ho gain. Hey dear why you feel guilty. I know you are busy and I can understand that.
@ Oye Ricky da great. Abhi abhi to tu mera badha tarif kar raha tha, Juneli yeh, juneli woh... ab yahan mera burai kar raha mujhe gussil bata kar.... gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr kitttkittttttttttt
@ Anks - Ricky bahut badmash hai... use to bas apni tarif sunne ki aadat hai na :P.
Thanks for the sweet words.
And regarding being the two books my fav gift.... Of course books is my favourite gift to gift :). The FPS is fav book. I gifted one of my friend long back and later on I found Colors and Ricky were willing to read it but you know being an Indian publication it was not easily available there so socha chalo don't ke pasand ke books gift karoo.
