Amma,
It all started like this.
I was anticipating a great birthday for you and was checking with Appa as what his plan is. As always, Mr. Vivek (yeah yeah, Appa only) was lazy and was looking for an avenue to escape. His physical unavailability here in India only helped his cause. I was not convinced and prodded him to come with a plan. After lot of thought, he came out with the idea to buy a Samsung Galaxy S2 for you and then claim that he has fulfilled your wish. This is what I would classify as the dumbest idea I have ever heard. Sorry to say mom, he has such a poor his imagination. Thank lord, am like you.... J
As you have told, every challenge is an opportunity in disguise. Appa's dull plan just served that purpose if not anything else J . It quickly dawned upon me that there cannot be a better day than your Birthday to tell you as how much we love you. And I was very sure that we could express in much better way than just getting a Android Phone (It is not even a windows phone... )
I, for once other, took responsibility and donned the hat of
an event manager with the goal to make this birthday the most unforgettable one
till now. Right after becoming a self-proclaimed event manage, I realized that
I needed a partner to execute this plan. I, immediately, struck a secret
alliance with Chittappa as I knew he was equally keen to make this moment big.
(Everyone other than Appa are more keep on your birthday J
) While Appa was busy watching the Olympic ceremony, Chittapa and I had
marathon discussions and etched, what we called the "Surya's super cool
plan". As always Chittappa was very generous and named the plan after me.
Thanks Chittappa.
Casual Conversations can at times trigger great ideas. It is
no different here. I was telling Chittappa as how much you are interested in
creating a diary for me, marking all important events of my life and how
disinterested Appa is about that. As I was telling this, an idea struck Chittappa's
brilliant mind as why we should not capture the best moments ever since I
became the cynosure of your eyes and make a personal album of it. It was this
personal touch that was missing in Vivek’ s so called master plan.
With the high-level plan in place, we quickly identified
that the first thing we needed to garner is a collection of your photos.
Chittappa attempt to grab your photos from Appa was futile. We weren't overly surprised
:). I exactly knew whom to rope in to get going. Who else other than my all-time
favorite Chitti would be more interested your birthday????? So the GOT (Gang of
Three) team got into act again and came out with this album which we think
capture the 12 most best of your life
I have posted the poster at http://sdrv.ms/Ndem6s . While I took the pleasure of designing the poster, Chitti and Chittappa designed the album.
I hope you liked the poster. However did you try opening the album Mom? Ah Ah .. Too early!
Let’s have the starting ceremony before viewing the actual gift. So, here we go. Please go and collect your first gift from Chittappa and then continue reading..... Yeah, we did not want Appa to feel miserable about his hopeless plan. We decided to have it as the starter. Chittappa, being one of the 2 partners in crime, forged Appa’s signature in one of the cheque leaves to withdraw money for the mobile. Chittappa, has mastered the art so well that I would not be surprised if the bank starts rejecting those cheques which are actually signed by Appa. :)
You should have figured out the password for the album by
now. Haven't you? So let’s open the album together and view what's in store.
Hope you liked what we presented to you. Just before I sign
off, I wanted to tell that the master mind behind this plan is...... I know
what you are thinking but you are wrong.... it is of course me J
Loads of Luv,
Surya
