Aren’t you giving a gift to my Blog on its birthday? I  said to my husband as we were having our breakfast.

Aye, you seem to be having weird ideas, he mocked.

Well, I may have to repeat what I have been saying  in the recent past, I said.

What’s that? He said  scooping the cereal from his bowl.

That times have changed and people are celebrating even their pets’ birthdays and showering them with gifts of all kinds, I  reminded.

That’s the most ridiculous thing, I‘ve  heard, he guffawed. By the way what  are the gifts like? He said next.

Ranging from  silver anklets, gold chains and fur coats, I said.

Fur coats in Chennai? He said shocked

Yes to be used during winter, I guess.

Enough of  joking. Now come to the  point and tell me what are you gifting my blog on its ninth birthday? I  reiterated.

O.K. Let me think. I feel the best gift might be a set of designer glasses which can be used in  summer, almost 10 months a year.

What will I do with those glasses, we already have more than we require, I said disappointed.

Wait, you know I love fruit juice and served in a designer glass will make it look even more appetizing, he said his eyes twinkling.

Quite true. Probably even water served  in a designer glass might taste better.

Hereafter I will use one for you  and you better wash it yourself, I suggested!
