Celebrations!!!

There is a special joy in a goal reached. And specially if that goal was the only thing on your mind for 10 years...

What an evening it was yesterday!! I can surely say it was the most memorable evening of our lives. So much love from so many people...I’ll have to shake myself up to feel like a human being again!!

It started right from the special high tea with Rubies and up and frontlines at Royal Orchid - we had a great time. But the surprise was when we came back. As we landed at our house we couldn’t recognise the place itself. It was decked with flowers all over and as we entered we saw messages for us all over the place - the door was welcoming us and my suit hanger and the kitchen and the bed and the bedroom and the book rack - it didn’t come from the mind but from the heart. Thanks to Manoj and Priya and their entire team for showering the love on us.

A special VW van was there to pick up our entire family - that was surely a dream builder - and we reached St John’s Auditorium. And as we stepped out of the van, we just couldn’t believe the sheer number of people who thronged the place to see the celebration. We walked through the crowd and entered the auditorium. The stage was beautifully decked with balloons and flowers and a big caption - Dreams Do Come True. As soon as we settled, there was a slideshow - and this one was a really big surprise too - and what a beautiful slideshow it was - right from our childhood till Diamondship - Taru and I had both tears in our eyes at the grandeur of the setting. We never got to know when Arpan/Nidhi and their team got the pictures from our own house and made the beautiful slideshow.

When they brought up the Rubies and up and frontlines to talk about us, we knew we were sitting with our best friends in the entire world in that room. The surprise was when everybody in our upline spoke from around the world - what an honour for us both.

The Platinums and up night owl was special too. This will be the smallest Platinums and up we’ll ever have!!

But the surprises didn’t end here. The next morning we left for Kashmir for our family vacation. And Iniyan came to pick us up at the airport on our return. We reached home only to find a home decorated with flowers again. The dining table was set for 6 people with the most delicious food one can imagine. What a feeling!!

We have received so many loving gifts from so many people that it’s overwhelming. I was telling somebody if we knew it was going to be so good, we would have done it 4 years back :-)
