Flowers and Chocolates

Flowers and Chocolates... why am I talking about them? Well, thats because they are the most common genre of gifts in love. If you are a girl, you loving getting them; if you are a boy, you love gifting them ( I would like to - and this is probably going on from the time immortal (well chocolates definitely have been added in the upgraded version once chocolates came into existance, but flower am sure is going on for centuries.

So whats the big deal? They are not these rare commodities that you just cannot afford to have them unles some one gifts you in love. But even then, the pleasue of getting a bunch of roses or a box of chocolate from your man is a pleasure of a different genre altogether - figures of speech fail to describe such a pleasure.

Ever since i was sweet sixteen, I dreamt of getting flowers and chocolates from my dream man! Dream man kept changing, but flowers and chocolates were always constant. They were always in my "wish list". Long time back there was an ad on TV of Thums Up featuring Salman Khan as a naval officer surprising his girl friend with a flower bouquet... I think thats when I strated dreaming about flowers... and then there was another ad on TV of Amul Chocolate and one of the version was about love... how idiot box makes us idiot...

My "teenage-ism" is still at its peak, though am more than double the age of sweet sixteen now... i still dream of flowers and chocolates... with my increasing waist line and grey hair (yes I saw my first grey hair a couple of days back) I still dream of getting a flower bouquet from someone special alongwith a box of chocolates... Any one listenning''

Another 7 years and my daughter will be sweet sixteen, and I want to pass pn my dreams to her. May she get flowers and chocolates from the man of her life... I dont know whether she will share her feelings with me then, but I sincerely hope that she does, as I want to re-live those dreams with her... let all my share of flowers and cholocates go to her... I pray and hope that her dreams get fulfilled...

As of my flowers, I still have not given up the hope
