Do you know how it feels to be driven into a beautifully decorated room by the most enticing smell of Chocolate ganache cupcakes with roasted walnuts in the middle of the day and that too without it being anyone's birthday? Ask me! It was International Family Day yesterday, and my parents had really gone a long way to make my brother and I feel special! Apart from leaving their respective workplaces before either of us returned, my parents had actually taken the efforts of cooking some of our favourite dishes and brought us presents! It felt like Christmas had decided to climb up the calendar months and arrived 7 months in advance!
I had happened to mention it to my mum a few days ago that 15th of May was International Family Day and UN had decided that 'work-family balance' was to be the theme for 2012. I hadn't known then that she, along with dad would take it so seriously and make it one of the most memorable days for all of us!
I love it when small surprises and celebrations like these brighten up our otherwise mundane lives! Thank you UN for coming up with such a lovely day and a fantastic theme! Did you'll celebrate too? Don't forget to let me know how...

Aww that is very sweet! I wish I was with my family too to spend the day... unfortunately, I was out for some work :(
ReplyDeleteOww! You can celebrate when you are back! The main idea of these days it to remember and celebrate... the dates aren't as important as the feelings and gestures! :)
