In hindi we say;“asal se jyada sood pyaara hota hai”;. Means “interest is more precious that principal”.

All parents in the world are most excited to be grandparents, and grandparents are the ones who pampers a child the most. Anything own child does is a sin, but if the grandchild does then its a bliss.😏😜

So, I hope you can imagine, being Grandpa for first time can be how big for a very emotional and caring Dad.
As I mentioned in one of my earliest posts;The Curiousity;, I got to know about my pregnancy on 29th October 2018. The next thing in my mind was, I need to tell this to people in style, not just normally. To make it big for them, for me and for baby .

.

2018, end of October and start of November was full of celebrations. I announced;Daddy to be; and;Dada to be;, now was the turn for Nana to be.

.

.

I talk to my mom almost everyday, and I am someone who is bad at hiding own secrets. As per my plan, I had to keep this big secret with me for 10 days, without telling my mom. I decided to plan a surprise for Dad’s upcoming birthday on 8th November.

.

.

So, I got a Coffee Mug with “Nana to be” printed on it and made a peel-off-to-reveal card for his birthday. Got it wrapped and sent through;Bluedart courier service.

.

.

I sent it to my brother’s office address and strictly told him – that ‘package has to be opened by DAD only on his birthday and you must record a video’.

.

.

No one had any idea about the fact. I kept on talking to my mom. kept telling her about my dietary changes, that I started eating more frequently, stopped eating outside food, having coconut water daily. She was surprised but was happy about me getting towards a healthier lifestyle. She had no clue about the reason. She must also be thinking, that if there is some other reason, I would obviously tell her first, but I planned differently.
Dad got the gift on 8th November midnight around 12.30AM. First he took out the card, which read---
“Happy Birthday
Yesterday was diwali
today you turned 64
we have got a surpise to make it much more”
-Inside the card, I hid whatever was written, with masking tape. He had to peel off to read.
It read---
"No more just papa papa
no more just pola pola
be prepared for rona dhona;
and to hear nana nana!!"
It was a big shocker for everyone. A true surprise and a memorable birthday gift for Dad!
