| I am proud to possess a mix of emotional as well as practical thoughts. Love, for me, has always been an emotion-oozing abstract feeling that does not fade away with the gradual corrosion of the power of lust. That is why bonding between the couples does not develop rust even after a family feud but strengthens with the rolling of time. Whether it was the impish grin of my love in teenage days or sweet smile on her beautiful face or a sparkle in her sunken eyes, I had always locked every moment in the depth of my mind. So, nobody felt an iota of surprise, when I proposed to celebrate her 80th birthday in a rich tone of unique style. From invitation to decoration, I insisted on having a precise professionalism in every aspect to make the event a very special one for my better half. I wanted to get everything done in an out-of-the-box way not to make the 80th birthday ceremony a touted talk in the neighborhood but to impress the love of my life. The invitation cards were kept simple but interestingly distinct from the run-of-the-mill. A good quality of paper, rich in texture, was used to make the hand-made cards. The 80th birthday card was not cluttered with designs or emotive thoughts, rather its simplistic charm was enough to captivate the invitees. Next I shifted my attention to venue decoration. I splurged a lot on decking up the entire house. The entrance was heavily decorated with flowers and on the top of the gate was hanging a flowery arch having the words '80th birthday' upon it. On the top of every wall and after a certain distance, were hanging several garlands made of marigold. I bought many 80th birthday balloons of different colors and got them fixed at various points of the main hall. Some of them were clustered together to make the balloon bouquets. They were freely floating above the heads of the guests resembling the surging waves of different colors. Creating a festive table was a very challenging task for me. I wanted it to be uncluttered. So I told the party organizer to place the napkins, coasters, dishes, spoons and forks on a separate table. With everyone already present at the hall, I came there clutching the hands of my beloved. On the center table, was lying the beautifully decorated 80th Birthday cake for her. The cake had also her name engraved upon it. I can still remember the glint in her eyes. Tears came rolling down. I wiped it with my wrinkled hands. Then I gave her the knife. She slowly cut a piece out of it and placed it in my mouth. I did the same too. Everyone around us participated in the chorus that said ' a very happy 80th birthday to Misses .....'. A great occasion should be marked with a grand gift too. But unique gift ideas for her were not coming easily. At last, I decided to buy her a diamond pendant as I knew that she had a penchant for the dazzling metal. I helped her wear the gift. The 80th birthday gift fitted her nicely. The invisible eyes of my mind clicked the jovial expression on her face and stored it for good and ever. |
