Ramadan...This was our first Ramadan after we met online. We use to talk till her sehri and then we use to talk after my sehri. So basically we both were sleep deprived and talking all the time :-) sleep was no where near on our priority list.
Even before Ramadan started, I started thinking about Eid gift for her. After first 15 days of Ramadan, I started worrying about what to send to her as her first Eid gift. I got a surprise from her. A parcel arrived somewhere near 20th of Ramadan. There was a very nice and a perfectly fitting Shalwar-Kameez for me and loads of cards and a CD. I was wondering what was in it. I thought may be some songs she recorded for me. As soon as I played the CD. I was shocked. It was a 15 minutes video of hers. She got it recorded at her office. That really was a wonderful suprise. I copied some pics out of that video :-)I wanted to meet her more badly now.
Finally, I went to the Green Street in East London to see and decide what to send to her for Eid. I tried looking for clothes, jewellery, shoes, table top gifts, music albums, etc etc but nothing impressed me. I was so disappointed. Then, on my way back, I saw a shop. I went in. There were some very good sarees there. I liked one a lot. I bought it. Then I went to a choori shop and asked the lady at the counter to suggest some chooris for the saree. She took 45 minutes to get me a set perfectly matching to the saree and the embroidery. I felt proud of myself to be able to shop a saree and chooris for the first time in my life :-)
I posted the saree, the chooris, mehendi and some cards to her and was waiting eagerly for her to let me know that she received the parcel.
After a week I got a text from her...
