Silver Jubilee :))

It is two days early yet had to post it today coz I m not sure how much time I can get to sit online .. leave online switch on the comp too for the next 4-5 days coz relatives will be coming n staying for the whole week I suppose.

As written a few posts back, mom n dad will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary on Sunday. I want to wish both of them a very long n happy married life. I agree tht I have had only this pair of parents in this birth (did I have a choice???.. he he) still I would say tht my mom n dad r the best in this world. Everyone has a right to do so… :))) I don’t believe in rebirths but if I get one I will ask God for a choice to be born again to this wonderful pair. I won’t go into details of how much I luv them n care for them coz it shld better be seen in actions than writing here n I hope I am doing it well n will continue to do it.

Lover's bench, Taj Mahal, Agra

This pic was taken by me when we were on a North India trip. Taj Mahal is really awesome. When I entered the main gate n saw the monument frm far (the gate is very far) I felt why we were wasting time seeing this (might be the effect of the ticket queue which is long). But, when we were like a few feet from the real monument I was left in complete awe. It deserves to be one of the wonders of the world. I had other pics frm my parent’s wedding, but found this better coz Taj is really one of the most romantic places.

This pic also reminds me of other things. First, tht u can see tht my dad’s hair is whiter than the monument marble..lol. It is genetic… GOSH… let me run n check myself in mirror. Still black…. gud. But, I tease my mom tht his hair turned white after their marriage.. he he he. Another thing I remember is all foreign dignitaries get themselves clicked at this bench with their partners. Now, when Clinton was here he had his pic clicked only when he was alone. Why? So that he can go home n get the pic morphed to suit his requirements. Sometimes Hillary, sometimes Monica, sometimes Paula…. No intentions of hurting anybody here. But, this man has had oval the fun.. I mean all the fun.

If u r still thinking wht have I got for my parents…. Keep on thinking coz still I m also. After going thro’ all ur suggestions I had almost rounded upto 2-3 choices when my uncle called me tht he has already got the same for gifting them. So now I m thinking tht if my parents ask me ‘bout gift I will plainly answer them “U both have ME.. the best gift ever” unless I find something gud.

good clinton joke :) at least you didn't have to shake hands with him. wonder what he STIRRED up, while he was having phone sex..eeee EEEEhhh..

happy 25th anniversary to your parents. you can always give them a daughter-in-law, someone they can love like their OWN daughter..
Woowwww ..How about that? *LOL*

i think a card is good enough. don't think too much. otherwise, your hair will turn white like your DAD!

Kathy said...

First Of All " Happy 25th Marriage Anniversary to your parents.

Taj Mahal is really a nice place... hope i'll spend some holidays there in coming vaccation.

Dalicia said...

kathy: MAHAL KITA :) i know a few tagalog here and there..hehe

i met president clinton, at the APEC summit meeting. i was one of the students that got to meet him ...actually, he's very charming and eloquent. that was a very brief meeting with him. there are things i like about president clinton. but i'm not a fan of his!

AnonymousBlogger said...

The Taj Mahal truly is amazing. It's one of those special buildings that everyone around the world recognizes.

You know what? If you can't think of another gift for your parents, I doubt they'll care. Ultimately, they have each other, and that's more important than anything you could ever buy them.
