The five gifts I always day dream about!
Fully furnished penthouse in Manhattan, NY.
A limousine
All cost paid trip around the world, culminating in a all night bash on the moon.!( Wondering how I will reach there?)
Unlimited access to cash from the Swiss Banks!
Week end dates with the most beautiful women on the earth .( Notice: Only weekends, on other days I am busy with MS)
Well, these are the Five simple Gifts I Would Like to Receive!
Sounds preposterous? Huh?
Nahhhhhh! Simply joking!( But some where in my heart I secretly desire all these) Blush .Blush .
I have often read “ Its not the gift but the thought that matters ”
I agree . But ponder over this incident!
Just the other day my over jealous boss gifted me with a booklet titled “ All My Thoughts” .
The “ not so attractive cover ” and the layout suggested that it was from a very local & ordinary publishing house.
To my horror I found that the author was none other than my boss himself.
I have had the unfortunate experience of reading some of his scribbles( which he insists on calling “ Thoughts ”.
I choked & gulped and managed to squeak a “ Thank you very much for your kind thoughts ”.
I could see that he was immensely pleased.
He misunderstood the horrified looks on my face as signs of being overwhelmed with emotions, gave me a huge hug(which nearly suffocated me to death) & said “ I always knew that you are a connoisseur of good stuff….Goutom & that’s the reason I have given this book for you to read and appreciate my thoughts!”
It then dawned on me that I don’t have much choice & that it is actually not the gift but the thought/s( of my boss) that matters!

On a serious note, the Five Gifts I Would Like to Receive:
1.Good perfumes / After Shave lotions: Makes me heady & supremely confident.( Don’t worry! No B.O problems here!) I particularly like Drakkar Noir & Polo Sports.
2.CDs / Audio Cassettes : Being a music addict, this gift suits me fine! Since the distance between me and poverty isn’t much & also that the CDs & Cassettes are expensive, its always good to get them as gifts. Brings a smile to my face .( MSians …are you getting my ‘ not so subtle ’ hints? huh? huh?)
3.Books: I am an avid reader and for the same economic reason( distance between….) these days I prefer to get books as gifts . I am a little embarrased to admit that I don’t mind magazines either( Wink! Wink!)
4.Flowers: This is an all encompassing thought conveyer. Not only does it brighten up my day but also makes my living room look brilliantly bright. Flowers almost always lifts my spirits . It is almost as if God has sent me his blessings through somebody.
5.A kiss & a hug from my only son, Micky: All gifts fade into oblivion in front of the gift I always cherish .*A hug from my son, * when I am least expecting one! A sensitive brat, my son, he has this uncanny ability to gauge my ever depressed moods( what with Bosses like the ones I have!)
So guys ….you know what to get for me when we meet in person! Don’t ya?
Ha Ha Ha!
P.S: Just to let you in to my Boss’s book …. The preface ran something like this:
I am a man .
& I know I can
write my thoughts
which will be liked by lots.
I know I am good
Whatever be your mood
Excitement will creep
Or at worst you will go to sleep, *!
Are you still wondering as to how I manage to retain my sanity?
If you want an answer.get me a gift!
