Well, special days are crucial in everyone’s life because everyone likes to celebrate and show their love towards others on these days. Here I am going to talk about a time when a special deal that cost me a little money. About 6 months ago I decided to throw a surprise party for my brother at a popular food outlet near our home on his birthday. Instead of hiring professionals, I took care of decoration myself, judging lights, balloons and flowers. Meanwhile, a friend of mine who is an excellent cook prepared a bright view of delicious dishes for the guest. Since I managed most of the arrangements personally, the only expense was the rent of hall. On the day my sister brought my brother to the venue and I will never forget the look of Shigir Chvai on his face. When he saw the surprise, he was over the moon as he had not expected anything like this. Seeing him happy gave me a deep sense of satisfaction and inner peace. But he was truly a red letter day for me because it was the first time I had given him a special treatment to make the party even more memorable. My cousin who has a wonderful singing voice performed a few songs. His music had a magical touch to the celebration in a nutshell. a special day that didn’t cost much money but left me with a priceless memories.
